I am running on unix with X.  Has anyone found out how to do any of
the following  notebook manipulations from the kernel?

  When creating a new notebook, how do you give it a file name other
  than the default Untitled-i?

  How can you shrink / expand (iconify / deiconify) notebooks from the
  kernel?

  How can you test for the existence and validity of a Notebook
  object?  In other words, how could you tell if it had been closed
  from the menus or not?

Thanks for any suggestions.
