Hi Chris,
Not having a menu and not being an "application" are not the same
thing. If you don't want to have a menu around, simply hide it using
the available mechanisms (e.g., [NSMenu setMenuBarVisible: NO] or
kiosk mode) and create a window to cover the entire screen. IMHO,
you'll be f"ighting the framework" if you try to force a window onto
the screen without using the window server (which is there to help you
- not be an insurmountable obstacle)
If you choose this route, make sure you give your user a way to return
to a non-fullscreen mode of operations (typically, pressing the escape
key will work for this task).
regards,
douglas

I'm trying to write a very simple oscilloscope in Cocoa as a shell
tool that continuously reads samples via standard input and draws
them as a waveform in a window. I do _not_ want a menu bar (i.e. an
application), just one window that disappears when the parent shell
tool receives the interrupt signal.
