That's very close to what I called an over-the-center type latch. This
may well be the best suggestion yet. Thanks.

You know if you do this one right, it will both close the window and,
if you put it at the other location, open it. Assuming there is a

both sides. Almost any design will be "right" but there might be some
that will be wrong.
