Really finally. Please learn how to use a search tool with documentation. I recommend google. Note the VERY FIRST HIT: http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=NSWindow +hide&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8 You don't even have to follow the link. The answer is in the SUMMARY provided by google.

Yes, that is how I found out about it actually, but that is not apple's documentation!
Apple's documentation for NSWindow is not even in the first 10 hits!
This is the part that I find hard to understand. I agree, depending where you are coming from, "order out" might be just as natural as "hide", but what I am saying is that both of them should be leading to the right page, regardless of how the method is called.
Not even a google search for "NSWindow order out" brings up apple's documentation in the first 10 hits. One has to try "NSWindow orderout", in which case it is the 5th hit.


For the record, I consider Apple's documentation to be very good. But sometimes it is hard to find what you are looking for. The search is what needs to be improved IMHO.
