That's because there aren't any.  You'll have to do one of three things:

       a. grunge around in undocumented DESQview internal data structures
       b. write an XDI driver which keeps track of the currently open
	  programs
       c. replace the DV Open Window menu with your own, and keep track of
	  the open programs that way (see DVAPMENU for an example)
