How do I tell Emacs to iconify itself?

You need to modify C source and recompile. Either that or get Epoch or Lucid Emacs instead. Patches have been written by Robert Forsman <thoth@reef.cis.ufl.edu> and Johan Vromans <jv@mh.nl> to allow Emacs to iconify itself and by Matt Wette <mwette@mr-ed.jpl.nasa.gov> and Manavendra K. Thakur <thakur@zerkalo.harvard.edu> (for 18.57, plus icon geometry) to allow Emacs to start up iconified. I don't know which of these patches work together.
