Thanks Rich, I can't use FrontWindow, cuz I have to implement a floating
window in a multi-window app.  It kind of screwy in Think pascal's debug
mode.  Think adds some of it's window in the window list.

I think I have bitten off more than I can chew.  Looks like I have to
rewrite FrontWindow and SelectWindow and handle activate and hiliting
on my own.  (argh!)
