[ someone wants to define an object that represents a window in Object Pascal ]

If I understand the problem correctly, given a window ptr, you want to
to get to the window object.  You can do this by stuffing a reference to
the window object in the window record's refCon field.  MacApp does something
like this.  You must be careful not to assume that whatever the refCon points
to is infact an object (i.e. you must test it for objectness) since there may 
be windows with non-nil refcons that point to other things.
