I didn't think of that trick. Fine if it works.
You could use the caption: PowerPro Alarm
instead of: =powerpro
if you don't want it to be applied to other PP windows
such as input dialogs.

Yes it's cumbersome.
Also you get another undesirable effect from the method I suggested:
If *Message is the first command for your scheduled item,
the message window you get has some inputs at the bottom
so you can reschedule the alarm, etc. It's caption is
"PowerPro Alarm".
But if the *Message command is in the scheduled item's
more commands box, you only get a simple message window
without those extras, caption "PowerPro Message".
So I looked for a more general method which will happen to all
alarm windows automatically. The one you discovered looks good.
An alternative, which worked when I tested it here, is to use
the autorun command list:
Make a new command list called autorun.
Make an item with name: PowerPro Alarm
Left command: *keys %{tab}
That will return focus to the previous window
whenever a new window is created with title PowerPro Alarm.
In pproconf, Command Lists, Setup, Special Lists,
use the dropdown for the "Open..." field to select
the autorun command list.
I only thought of "*keys %{tab}" today.
Before thinking of that, I was looking for a win plugin function
or a built-in function which would refer to the previous active
window for a command like: Window Show previous
but I couldn't find one.
If you use the autorun method, remove your "cursor to button" entry.

Paranoia :) I think it's only random/accidental that occasionally
nobody picks up a question or thinks of a suitable reply.
If that happens you should ask again.
