    NAME
        ActivateWindow -- Activate an Intuition window.

    SYNOPSIS
        ActivateWindow( window )
                        A0

        VOID ActivateWindow( struct window * );

    FUNCTION
        Activates an Intuition window.

        Note that this call may have its action deferred: you cannot assume
        that when this call is made the selected window has become active.
        This action will be postponed while the user plays with gadgets and
        menus, or sizes and drags windows.  You may detect when the window
        actually has become active by the IDCMP_ACTIVEWINDOW IDCMP message.

        This call is intended to provide flexibility but not to confuse the
        user.  Please call this function synchronously with some action
        by the user.

    INPUTS
        window = a pointer to a window structure

    RESULT
        None.

    BUGS
        Some versions of the documentation claimed that this function
        had a meaningful return value under V36 and higher.  That is
        not true.

        Calling this function in a tight loop can blow out Intuition's
        deferred action queue.
