We should discuss what is the most logical behaviour that users will 
expect.

My opinion:
  "Open" loads a molecule, so when I see "Close" beside "Exit", I 
imagine that the first will remove the molecule, and the second will 
exit the program = close the window.
I don't like an option that closes all windows (MS Excel 2003 does 
exactly that, and I always get very irritated at it; other MS 
programs don't do that); if there is one, it should be made clear.

I would propose:

File
    New window *
    Open file *
    Open URL
    Recent files
    Export
    Print
    Script console *
    Close                               = zap
    Exit                                        = close window
    Exit all windows *          

(those with * are new or renamed)

Another option could be:
File
    New *                               = zap
    New window *
[...]
    Exit                                        = close window
    Exit all windows *          

(this is less clear in my opinion, but having options together 
clarifies them)
