    Cool, thanks, but couple of things:

    Window names in QUERY are truncated to 32 characters (+ some non-printable character).

    For example, LIST shows this when opening a text file:
    WINDOW [ 899/ 219, 1440x 972] "System:Prefs/Env-Archive/sys/net/hosts" (0x2A64C394)

    But QUERY shows it like this:
    Ram Disk:> winaction 0x2A64C394 query qf=%t
    System:Prefs/Env-Archive/sys/netB


    And how I can get ZOOMED to YES? Whatever I try it's always NO...


    And about the original question in this thread, would it be possible to trigger iconifying for MUI apps somehow? AFAIK all MUI apps can be iconified by pressing the (optional) iconify button on the window border, or by selecting Iconify from the MUI popup button menu. I think this doesn't need support from programs themselves? Could the same action be triggered programmatically somehow?

    The HIDE option isn't quite the same, because there won't be an icon on the desktop and you'll have to know exactly what to do to get it shown again. Iconified program is easier for users to notice and bring the GUI back by doubleclicking an icon.


    And not wanting to nitpick, but should the output from QUERY be more consistent? Now there's VISIBLE/HIDDEN, HasAlpha: YES/NO, ISMUI/NOMUI, Zoomed=YES/NO, etc. I think it would be better if they all would be in the same form... maybe PROPERTY=YES/NO/othervalue, or so...
