What happened to NSConvertWindowNumberToGlobal

Hello -
NSWinow's api refers to the functionNSConvertWindowNumberToGlobal, yet I can't seem to find this function anywhere. I have found references to it on the web, and that it resides in NSGraphics.h, but It doesn't appear to be there anymore.
I'm looking to gain control over windows outside the scope of my application. I am able to get all of the numbers of other windows via calls to NSCountWindows and NSWindowList, but when I try to obtain a reference to an NSWindow using the window number, the only valid window references that I obtain, are windows spawned by my own application. NSConvertWindowNumberToGlobal appears to be the function I am looking for, giving the the global window number that the WindowServer uses to reference it.
Has this function no longer supported, and if not, will the function provide the functionality that I am looking for? If it is no longer supported, is there another way to go about this?
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide.

--Pete
