At Wits End!!! How to Bring App to Front on Windows???

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Dave,

This appears to he a FAQ. An example can be found here;

<http://runrev.info/Activate%20Application.htm>

Probably, now that Rev has a more flexible do command, this script  
could be made more elegant using the do command.
