Hi,

Thanks Carsten for your reply. I have tried it out and it works okay.. BUT
if the window happens to be iconised, and you try to "close" the icon, the 
window just locks up now. :-(

Is there a separate event for deleting a window thru its icon, verses being
open ??

Any thoughts ??


best regards
