Clicking from one window to the other (i.e., bringing each to the 
front repeatedly) I was able to confuse the program to display the 
list that normally appears in number 2 window to appear in the number 
1 window. So, I think you need to use a WINDOW OUTPUT somewhere 
before doing anything to a window.

Also, while the program shows a list to choose from, but why wouldn't 
you just use a pop-up list to accomplish the same thing? No offense, 
but it appears to be a awkward operation because one has to close 
window 2 to make the selection appear in window 1. It might be better 
if as the user selects the item in window 2 that the item selected in 
window 1 is immediately changed to reflect that selection.
