A window.  :)

That's what I'd use for new work. But, as someone else noted in another recent discussion, an NSPanel works just as well, so I wouldn't bother changing any NIBs that were created with NSPanel.

Notice the argument types for the beginSheet... and related methods.

NSPanel is a subclass of NSWindow, and one can usually pass subclasses of the declared argument type.

And so my answer was correct. :) Creating an NSPanel is creating a window.
