Shucks; t'weren't nothin' ma'am (er, sir).

Seriously, I just looked in the QuickTime Player dictionary until I found
what worked. I didn't realize that a window could have more than one
movie at first, but fiddling around came up with the solution. I also
figured that, as with most applications, there has to be a link to the
source file of any saved open window, so I kept looking until I found how
the QT Player defined it.

I think I'm going to play around to see what happens if there is more
than one movie associated with a window.
