1.) look at how the dialog manager associates a TEREcord with a window:
it defins a struct that has a WindowRecord as its zeorth element, and
has a field holding a handle to the TE further along.
2.) I like to put a handle to a struct in the refcon of my windows. My
window structs have fields for the data that describes the contents of my
windows. Two common fields I use are hScroll vScroll: the scroll bars of
the  window (or pane, for multiple panes, each with their own scroll
bars.)

Searching the ((WindowPeek)thePort)->controlList for the control you
want will work, but is seems pretty funky to me.
