We have a menuing system that calls a new occurance of the runtime as it opens new program windows. we are having an issue that if you click to run the "call" of the runtime unit, and then click again on the active window, the "called" window appears behind the active window. Is there a way to force new windows to have focus in front.

What function do you use to spawn the new instance of the runtime? C$SYSTEM?`

Can you provide a small example? I mean, there is no need for your menu system, obviously a call "c$run" will do to reproduce?

I am not sure I get this right, I have tried to reproduce your issue but if I run this, and click on the slave window, it remains there.
