When you forget the window object your reference to the window is invalidated and
should be set to zero. From my Message Window in DirMX:
x = window("foo")
put x
-- (window "foo")
x.forget()
put x
-- 0
So the setting of the variable to VOID is not strictly required but it serves to
bullet-proof your code against possible Director garbage collection bugs (that don't
currently exist AFAIK but may have in previous releases).
