I would like to feed applications IDCMP events from outside the
applications. Most notably, I'd like a CLI command:

	closewindow Name

That finds the window named Name, and tells it that it's close gadget
has just been hit.

The obvious hack (chase down the window, and feed an IntuiMessage to
it's UserPort) didn't work. The application apparently never saw the
message, the closewindow program hangs, and the system GURUs when the
application is close for real.

I know that I'm doing a *very* hazardous thing. Suggestions on a
better way to do it will be appreciated - except I'd rather not put
false mouse events into the intuition stream.

	Thanx,
