Good, you did do that step back and look at the larger picture. You replicated what it was doing, not how it was doing it.

In general, you can actually execute the code like that with the old-style window creation and then suspend and take a look at _screen.forms collection. You should be able to find that window - perhaps as .forms[1] or .forms[2] (the ordering is switched around, every time a window is show()n or got focus, it becomes #1). Then just do amembers() on that form/window with changed properties only, and you should be able to then create a form class which would behave the same as the window from the Create Window command, but it would now be an object and totally under your control.

Done that before, and it worked swimmingly - IIRC there was some advice from Martina to do that when I needed a tooltip form class.
