Hidden Revolution on Mac

[Bruce Lewis]

On the Macintosh the user can hide all the windows of a program to avoid
clutter.

I have a Revolution palette that I want visible at all times. This is done
by setting the systemWindow to true. Works fine.

The palette has buttons to open stacks.

When Revolution is hidden, the buttons have no visible effect.

I want them to show the relevant stack.

The following in the button will show **all** open Revolution windows:

    put "tell application" && quote & "Revolution" & quote & return into
tApplescriptMsg
    put "activate" & return after tApplescriptMsg
    put "end tell" & return after tApplescriptMsg
    do tApplescriptMsg as applescript
   
But I can't figure out how to show just the one window whose button is clicked.

I tried:

    set the systemwindow of stack tbOpened to true
    set the systemwindow of stack tbOpened to false

But if Revolution is not hidden, the above creates two flashes, which are
unacceptable. If Revolution is hidden, the above sometimes creates one
flash, but always ends without the window visible.

Anyone know how to show just one window.

Thanks.

Bruce
