  If you've already opened a window on the Workbench screen, you don't
need to LockIBase() and search the screen list, just use window->WScreen.
As long as your window stays open CloseWorkBench() won't be able to close
the screen.
  By the way, notice that CloseWorkBench() will now return FALSE if the
screen was already closed, contrary to what it says in the Intuition
manual and the RKM.
