That's not quite correct. The Hide Others item in the application menu is implemented via -[NSApplication hideOtherApplications:]. One can invoke that directly to accomplish the same thing. Similarly, - [NSApplication unhideAllApplications:] will unhide all other applications. Beyond that, the ShowHideProcess function of the Process Manager can be used to individually hide or show other applications.

Cheers,
Ken

You cannot minimize an Application. You can hide it, or you can minimize an application's window.

As it's said at least 4 times a week on this list, this is not possible to interact directly with other applications windows.

The two most common way to interact with an other application is AppleEvents and accessibility API.
