Maybe I am drunk or just tired, but shouldn't "print(GetRoot());"
print a list of all apps in the Inspector? Or am I in the wrong
languag on the wrong system again ;-)

"All applications are normally declared in the root view under their
application symbol. This means there is a slot in the root view whose
name is
the application symbol and whose value is that view. You can use this
code
to test if an application is open:

GetRoot().applicationSymbol.viewCObject;

If the application is open, this function returns a non-nil value;
otherwise,
nil is returned. This reference is always present as long as a view
is open, and
nil when a view is closed."
