I haven't tested this, there is an element of guesswork, you should
expect some to do some trial-and-error, but ...


1) Controllers.FocusView will give you your Text document (I think).

If it gives you the wrong Focus (ie your Form Tool) then:

2) Controllers.SetCurrentPath will sort that out.

The variable Controllers.path may be useful.

3) LibMisc.CloseViewWindow shows how to find the Window containing a
known View.

4) LibMisc.SetToTop shows how to bring the found Window to the Top.


Cheers

Robert
