Using WShell2.0, is there a way to reference an existing WShell window, not
necessarily the one that is active, and request to make the other window
active or request to change it's size and/or location?
Rene,
No, WShell doesn't have any utilities that modify the size or position of
other shell windows. If you need to provide this sort of control, your
best approach would be to put a recognizable string in the window titlebar,
and then search for windows having the special string. The usual Intuition
calls could then be used to reposition the window.
Probably something as simple as "WShell %n" in the titlebar variable would
work fine …

Thank you for the answer .. even though I'd rather have a DIFFERENT answer.
But your answer is doable. It is too bad AmigaDOS (or WShell) don't
provide some standard calls to access various windows and provide an easy
way to manage them from a shell script or ARexx program.
