	It's not a DECwindows Programming Cookbook that you need, but the Hacker's Guide to DECwindows Programming... Anyway, I don't think there's a supported mechanism fo doing what you want to do. There's an interesting hack probably described in the DW_EXAMPLES conference which let you find the window which currently has the own input focus, then walks up the hierarchy, massages the toplevel window and talks to the window manager. The hack was called 'set title' or something like that. Cheers, Denis.
