But if the user wanted to close the only open document 
and then open an existing document, they would have 
to "Open..." it from "Untitled1".  This would result in 
two open windows, only one of which they care about.  
Not a big deal, but a "Close & Open..." menu option that 
closes the current document and prompts for an existing 
document to open would solve this elegantly.  Since the 
user may want to close the last open document and work 
on a new one, a "Close & New" option would also be 
necessary.

So we need two new, little used menu items.  It sounds 
ridiculous, but that's the price of a complete and 
elegant Single Document Interface.
