Hello Peter,

I found this mention of the Window menu in the reference documentation:

<http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/WinPanel/Tasks/UsingWindowsMenu.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/20000231-SW1>

It sounds like you can manually mess with the Windows menu by setting 
setExcludedFromWindowsMenu:YES on each window you control and then manually 
adding/deleting items for the windows via [[NSApplication sharedApplication] 
addWindowsItem:title:filename: ] or [[NSApplication sharedApplication ] 
removeWindowsItem:].  

hth....
