!I need to know when a window is brought to the top in SuperCard.  I can't use
!currentWindow() because there's the possiblity of quite a few floating palettes
!(both from my project and the runtime editor) actually being on top of the
!"top" window. 

The function topWindow() returns the id of the current top window,
ignoring palettes.  Makes life very simple (I too have a project that
makes extensive use of palettes.)
