I don't think that is the will help. I believe that THINK Pascal mucks
around with the window list (or creates its own) so that the front window
command will work even if the front window is the source code or Lightsbug
window. For example if you are tracing code execution, if your code calls
frontwindow and the source code window is actually in front, frontwindow
will return a ptr to your window not the source code window.


If I get time I'll look into it. Sorry I dont have an answer.
