Short: Brings any window to front, v0.4

Win2Front version 0.4 (See end of file for update info)
Win2Front brings any already opened window to the front, from any screen.
Win2Front is a Shell only utility.
To be of any usefulness it has to be called from a hotkey, like with
the help of ToolManager (thanks Stefan).
It is Pure and is better made resident in your startup-sequence or user-
startup.
If, for example, you want a hotkey (combination) to bring your shell
window to the front, configure ToolManager by puting in the 'Command'
string gadget:
'win2front shell'
The lack of a path suppose that 'win2front' has been made resident,
and if you are going to use win2front regularly, you should make it
resident.
The 'shell' argument means that you want win2front to bring to the
front the first instance of a window containing 'shell' in its name,
ie: 'AmigaShell', (it is not case sensitive)..
Then put in the 'hotkey' string gadget whatever the hotkey combination
you wish to bring that window to the front, ie: 'lalt f1'.
You can, of course, enter several instances of win2front, to bring all
your most often used applications to the front, from anywhere, at the
simple touch of a key (or two!), instead of having to click several
times on all those front/back gadgets!.
Without any argument win2front brings a shell window to the front.
Win2Front returns 5 (warn) if no window with a name containing the
argument given, exists.
