I just modified my code so that if the index number I'm looking
for exceeds the size of the array, then I just assume the window
is not available. No harm so far, but I am using this to
restore the current graphics window after I create a window
to do something else. I don't expect to have problems in my
code, since I always know what window I'm drawing into, but
I'm thinking of the thousands of poor saps who have no idea. ;-)

Cheers,

David
