Veena,

That's actually pretty easy to do.  You just disable the "Close" 
button in the Window Attributes of NIB.  While I don't think it's 
considered "proper" to send images to the list here's a link to a 
screenshot from NIB 3 showing this:

That said.. I don't know that this is a really good design idea. 
Certainly in other GUI environments it's more 'proper' to tell the 
user why the close of the application is being stopped rather than to 
simply block it.

Just my US$0.02 (not worth as much as it used to be I know, but still).
