Out of thin air?  It's different depending on whether you have ResEdit 1.2 
or 2.0:
For 2.0:
1) Launch ResEdit.
2) Click NEW on the standard file window.
3) Click NEW on the next standard file window.
4) From Resource menu, select "Create New Resource"
5) In "Select New Type" window, scroll to WIND, and click OK
6) In WIND ID window, edit the window (change it's size or location), if 
desired.
7) From Resource menu, select "Get Resource Info"
8) Edit name and number, if desired.
9) Quit from File menu, click "Yes" to save.

From 1.2
1) Launch ResEdit
2) From File menu, select NEW, then fill in the name.
3) From File menu, select NEW again.
4) Scroll to WIND and click OK.
5) In WINDs window, select NEW
6) In WIND ID window, edit the window (size and location) if desired.
7) In File menu, select "Get Info", then edit number and name if desired.
8) Quit from File menu, click "Yes" to save.

The bad news is that you need to know a lot more about programming the Mac 
to use the
window.  Call me or e-mail if you want more info.
