Adam,
I believe that the window reference number is assigned in the order the
windows were opened. The list is FIFO.
In System Events each object has attributes. In this case window has
the "focused" attribute which is a bool ean.
##########################
tell application "System Events"
get every process
set jdProcess to (the name of application processes whose frontmost is
true) as text
tell process fm
set jdWindow to every window whose focused is true
end tell
end tell
