Can this be done in DCL?  Raising the window to the top every second or 
so would be good enough.  The window I want to keep on top is running a 
self-written never-ending application.  It's mainly DCL, but it would be 
easy to run a program from it if that can achieve my goal, though DCL 
would be more elegant.
