A compiled WINDOW OPEN command using name contains the unambiguous name of the window (including a reference to an application directory) that was found at compile time.

If neither name nor expr is specified, the current window is assumed. |

Comments
The attributes changed are only applicable to an opened window. After the window is closed, all attributes set are lost. Opening subsequent windows will not inherit attributes set to previous windows.
If there is no opened window, the attribute settings are ignored.
The WINDOW SET command changes certain window attributes whose default states are defined in the Object Dictionary.
