Thank you for this. It solves a problem I was attempting to solve years ago as I was unaware you could modify the .externalwindow object (official documentation states that it is read-only, I guess that doesn't necessarily mean its properties are read-only).

That said it is working fine for me within the original function that is creating the external GUI...

For reference the externalwindow object is a TWindow. So doing "/scripthelp TWindow." in rc will show what you can do with it

For some reason the first time I tried to edit in the same function it didn't work. I probably had a typo or something.
