I'm rewriting an old legacy app in Cocoa and have run into a stumbling block. The app is supposed to support having multiple windows open, but the window content is unrelated to the concept of a document - which is the "normal" multiple window model. Instead the windows provide a UI to perform specific calculations, among other things. An example of what I'm looking for would be if you had a version of the Calculator application where you could create multiple calculator windows so you could leave several calculations "open" simultaneously, if that makes sense.

When I start up the app, an instance of the window is created, but I can't figure out how to get it to repeat the process in response to selecting New from the File menu. I've found a bunch of info on multiple document windows, or a single non-doc window plus a preferences window, but nothing on instantiating multiple non- document windows. Did I just miss something basic, or is all of the magic really focused on NSDocumentController, etc.?
