Oh thank g*d for that - I thought I was doing something wrong too.
Mr Glover kindly sent me information on how to iconise a window.
What I want to do is send a window a messge to inform it that its going to
be iconised - ie emulate a shift close. It may be much MUCH simpler for me
to simply send icon -3 a click message, but I'm not sure how to inform Wimp
that the shift key is down.

Anyway back to the plot - I tried this send message 17 with action code of
400CC to one of my windows and it never arrives - really odd. Upon return from
the SendMessage, R2 is my application task handle so I assume somewhere it got
to me, but not in my poll-loop.

PLEASE someone, could you tell me how to get this to work!

Thanks
	Felix
