for RGui --sdi, and the title of the window from which it was
launched for Rterm.
It has no effect in embedded uses of R.
getIdentification returns the normal window identification.
setStatusBar sets the text in the statusbar of an MDI
frame: if this is not currently shown it is selected and shown.
Value
The first three functions return a length 1 character vector.
setWindowTitle returns the previous window title (invisibly).

window title and the normal window identification, respectively.
Note
This is only available on Windows.
