  A Windows program that looks for the `Desktop' window and sends it an
  activate message should do the trick.

  On the other hand, invoking any PM program should also switch you from a
  full-screen Windows VDM back to the PM session.  A convenient `dummy'
  program to use is NOTHING.CMD :

    /* This is a REXX script that does nothing */

  Invoke the PM REXX interpreter to run this as `PMREXX NOTHING.CMD'.
