Simply use thePort to access your windowPtr.

I.e.

WindowRecord WRecs[10];

DoUpdate(resized)
int resized;
{
int update_index;

	for (update_index = 0; update_index < 10 ; update_index++)
		if (WRecs[update_index] == thePort) break;

	if (update_index == 10) Debugger(); /* Tough luck ;-( */
/* Do updating */

}


Hope this helps.
