I think what you rather want to use is

   [targetWindow orderOut: nil];

To re-show your window after that, use

   [targetWindow makeKeyAndOrderFront: YES];

Setting the rect to an empty rect can royally screw up your item
sizes if you have resize springs set up...

If you want my opinion, you really want to buy Aaron Hillegass' book
on Cocoa. It describes how to do things like this, and is a very nice
read to boot. Without it, I'd still be fighting Carbon...
