Removes a window from screen.
-----------------------------------

HIDE WINDOW removes the named window or windows from the screen.  You
can also hide system windows like the Command window, the Calculator,
the Calendar/Diary, etc.  Hiding a window is not the same as closing it.
When a window is hidden, it stays resident in memory and active in all
respects.  Output can be sent to a hidden window - you just won't be
able to see it.

Closing a window removes it from memory.  Windows that are removed from
memory must be DEFINEd again if they are to be placed back on the
screen.  A window may be displayed on the screen with ACTIVATE WINDOW or
SHOW WINDOW.

Windows can also be hidden by choosing Hide from the Window menu popup.
You may redisplay a window on the screen by choosing its name from the
Window menu popup.
