Variable No. of Windows with Phase of Moon [message #60925]

Hi Folks,

Anyone seen this. I'm running a program on a Windows machine.
I want to know if a particular pixmap window is still open.
The window index number is something like 75. To check
whether it is still open or not, I get the window "state"
like this:

DEVICE, WINDOW_STATE=theState

This is suppose to be "an array containing one element
for each possible window". If it has a 1 in the right
slot, the window is open and available.

windowIsOpen = theState[75]

All well and good, but when I run my program, theState
variable changes from a 139-element array to a 65-element
array within seconds of running the exact same code!

I've done this many times, and I can find no pattern in
the output. Oh wait!! It is apparently Morse code. Let's
see...

S-W-I-T-C-H T-O M-A-T-L-A ...

Oh, never mind. I could have guessed that. :-(

Cheers,

David
