If all you want to do is find out what the window variant is, you can call
the GetWVariant routine [FUNCTION GetWVariant(whichWindow:WindowPtr):INTEGER
or  pascal short GetWVariant(WindowPtr whichWindow) ].  According to Inside
Mac volume 5, this is available in the Plus and on.  If you want to set the
variant, I'll leave that as an exercise for the reader, however suffice to
say that it's all described in IM5...
