-The simplest way to do this is to wait for the IDCMP message ACTIVEWINDOW
-for activating the window. So your code goes (Note this is psuedo code
-
-	ModifyIDCMP(MyWindow,ACTIVEWINDOW);
-	WindowToFront(MyWindow);
	^^^^^^^^^^^^^
	etc.
-	ModifyIDCMP(MyWindow,NOACTIVEWINDOW);
-
-I don't know if there are IDCMP messages for your window coming to the front
-but I thing there are. 
---Chuck McManis

Good idea!  However, this would only work for ActivateWindow.  Anyone have
any ideas about WindowToFront and WindowToBack?
