  19. And easy to do.  An application can make a window active and
  20. underneath other windows.  Using the WinSetWindowPos command, you can
  21. position a window anywhere in the "stack" of windows you want and
  22. either activate or deactivate it.  I discovered this when my first
  23. version of MineSweeper were coming up focussed but underneath
  24. everything until I forced it to the surface.
