There can only be one active window on the system at a time.  The
easiest way to find it is to look at IntuitionBase -> ActiveWindow.

I think it goes like this:

		lockbase = LockIBase(0);
		ActWind = IntuitionBase -> ActiveWindow;
		UnlockIBase(lockbase);

Oh yes,  use ULONG lockbase;
	     struct Window *ActWind;

Make sure to open the Intuition library first.

Hope this helps!

PS   I have been reading this news group for almost 2 years now but
     was unable to post to it.  As of last week, this has hopefully
     changed.  Free At Last!  I would appreciate a couple replies
     to confirm this however...

				Thanks in Advance...
