subject: Window word

Can anyone give me a good explination of how the window
word works. (In WinRegisterClass). I have read thatit is
useful because it cuts down on global varables. OK, but
how is it done? There is only four ways to store data in
a C program (C++ as well I believe). Local varables, global
varables, static varables (same as global I think), and on
the heap. Could it be that the window word is really a 
static varable with a hidden pointer passed to each function
much lke the hidden pointer 'this' in C++? 

Regards,
Richard
