What's the magic that makes cmd-w close a window?

When the user hits cmd-W, the frontmost window should close.

I have done this by making a menu item or button, wiring it to NSWindow's
-performClose action and assigning cmd-W as its keyboard shortcut.  But I am
trying to clear this excess clutter from my user interface.  Note: I am
particularly interested in non-document windows.

In Apple's TextEdit example, I see that the Preferences window (presumably
NOT a document window) behaves this way, but I can't find anything in its
.nib or code to support it.  What's the magic??

P.S.  My apologies for the easy question; indeed a Google search says this
was discussed in the Cocoabuilder archives, but I can't find it in Apple's
Mailman archives and Cocoabuilder is down.
