Treat windows or at least window identities as first class objects.

 Store window identities in variables, compare them for equality.
 Provide examples of performing some of the following:
 hide, 
 show, 
 close, 
 minimize, 
 maximize, 
 move,     and 
 resize a window. 


The window of interest may or may not have been created by your program.
