[MacRuby-devel] Close Current window and Pass Data

[Buddy Lindsey, Jr.]

Okay, i think that makes sense. I guess need to figure out some way to get
the reference to the current window that is open, so I can call the close
method on it.

Is that a correct approach?

Also any ideas on passing data from one window to the other?
