Lars,

Well, the close box would be: "close this stack", I should think.

To minimise and unminimise you set the stack's "iconic" property to true or
false. Don't know OSX but Win and MacOS can use the same code.
More problematic can be bringing a window to the front after you have
unminimised it (by script). In my experience this is not always automatic,
and

set the iconic of stack "X" to true

may need to be followed by

go stack "X"

or something like that, to make this happen.

To maximise you would probably do your best to fit your stack to the
windowboundingrect, with geometry as appropriate. To unmaximise you reset
your stack to its minimum dimensions or (if user-resizable) back to the
last dimension set by the user. AFAIK there is no specific command for this.
