I don't remember that HC 1.x hid its window. Both versions hide their 
floating palettes; it may be that you remember that, and didn't notice the 
main window hanging around because, under HC 1.x, there was only one such 
window and its size was fixed.

System 7.0 (when it appears) and MultiFinder 6.1b9 both have "Hide 
Windows" features in their MultiFinder menus. Ask around for MultiFinder 
6.1b9 if you want it; it was never officially released by Apple but copies 
exist and have been widely used.
