------------------------------------------------------------------------------


 PARAMETER:

  <cClassName>  Is the API class name of the window to search. For a 
                FiveWin Window, this is "TWINDOW". If you don't supply a
                class name, then any class will match.                 

  
  <cTitle>      Is the Windows title, or the controls caption, that is
                used to identify the window. If you don't supply the title,
                then any title will match.                 


 RETURNS:

  <hWnd> is the handle of the window that has the specified class name
  and window name if the function is successful. Otherwise, it is zero.



 DESCRIPTION:

  The FindWindow function retrieves the handle of the window whose class
  name and window name match the specified strings. This function does not
  search child windows. 


 EXAMPLE:


    +--------------------------------------------------------------+
    |  /* Search for the main window of windows control panel,     |
    |     and, if not found, start the control panel */            |
    |   IF( FindWindow( "CtlPanelClass", "Control Panel" ) == 0    |
    |       WinExec( "CONTROL.EXE" )                               |
    |   ENDIF                                                      |
