Hi Doug: That would be great, but how can I be sure I'm starting at
the root of the tree, so to speak? Program opens, plops me somewhere.
Now, is that window I want above me, below me, or on the same
hierarchical level as I am currently? And do I have to call that
function for every branch along my current position to ensure
neighboring windows don't have child windows, etc.? In other words,
who does the tree traversal, me, or the function?
