You'd need the process ID to kill it, or its hwnd to send it a close message, or something like that. There are, probably, ways to get those.

If you want to control the whole process, why not keep it in fox? Modify File "c:\myfile.txt" in macdesktop, store wontop() in a safe place, and when you want to close it, release window (lcWindowName). The "in macdesktop" is an old dirty trick which will open it as a top window form, outside of _screen.
