There is definitely a key that can be put in the plist to stop your
application's icon from appearing in the dock. However:
A. I can't remember what it is! I think it might be something like:
LSUIElement
B. I have a sneaky feeling that you actually have to log out and in
again in order for the OS to properly register this change to your app.
Hope that helps!

Okay. Is there a way to take it out of the dock once a pref has
been set, so you set the pref to remove the icon from the dock then
quit and when you launch the app again it's gone from the dock.
I hope it's not impossible, Alan

IIRC, to create an actual menu extra is not a public API. Apple do
provide NSStatusBar and NSStatusItem for menu items designed to only
appear while your app is running.
However, I'm not sure you can actually take your program out of the
dock whilst it is running if you do that.
