All you need to do is open a window of your own. In the Window structure
there are pointers to the next, previous window in the list of windows
for a particular screen. You can follow that chain up and down to find
the window your are looking for (You *must* LockIBase to ensure the
integrity of that list while you search through it). Then using
the pointer to the window (Has nothing to do with names, same thing
as what is returned by OpenWindow) you can call WindowToBack.
This is a rude and dangerous thing to do with other peoples windows,
but is ok for playing around for fun. I believe that the windows
are sorted by order of last Active. THe Active window is the first, the
previously active window would be next, etc...
