I am trying to write a sunview application which will be invoked by cron
to place a visible, blocking alarm on the screen.  When I run the program,
it runs OK, but when it is started up by cron, it aborts with a message
that the parent window of the Base frame is not passed to the program from
the environment.  I understand what the message means, but my question is:
how do I either a> autonomously pass a currently active window to the
program as parent, or b> bypass the requirement that a SunView
application's Base frame have a parent?
