Inside Mac vol 1. says: the window kind holds the refNum of d.a. windows
(that aren't dialogs.) It also says the application may store integers >=
userkind into the windowKind field.  I use it this way as one way of
telling my windows from other windows, and telling them apart. Note, the
d.a. version means that you can implement a menu command "close" that will
close not only your windows, but also desk accessory windows: (send them a
CloseDeskAcc( (((WindowPeek) FrontWindow())->windowKind);  ).
