Well, I did...they first referred me to Developers--
and my post never even appeared in their discussions;
I think it was moderated out as inappropriate...(assumption).

Then HELP referred me to here (3rd place).

Here is the question...

What is the HIDDEN Window title of Chrome window?

I need to create autohotkey code--see below--which "selects itself" to apply/operate/"be active" ONLY WHEN Chrome is the open and active window.  So far, I have been unable to find the hidden title of the open/active Chrome window--which the autohotkey code needs in order to 'know' when to invoke itself. 

Actually, I only need a substring that is always in the (hidden) window title. 
As an example, Firefox window title always contains the substring
"- Mozilla Firefox"
no matter what or how many tabs are open.

I am not talking about tab titles; an always-there substring in the main Window title is what I need.

Autohotkey code would be similar to this...

;MUST BE LAST ACTIVE CODE
SetTitleMatchMode, 2
#IfWinActive,  text-here-is-some-string-always-in-an-open&active-chrome-window
[lines here are the functions to be performed when chrome is open and active]
#ifwinactive

Is such obtainable?

If you open the Task Manager, I think it shows the title for which you are looking, under the "Applications" tab (this is the name of the tab at least on Windows 7).
