Correct, the Developers' Guide (version 4) tells you this:
A Sheet window behaves like a Modal dialog window, except that the animation
makes it appear to drop down from the parent window¹s title bar. It can¹t be
Moved from that position and it puts the user interface in a modal state.
The user must respond to the choices presented in the Sheet window.
Sheet windows behave as sheets only under Mac OS X. On Windows, Sheet
windows behave like Movable Modal dialog windows and on Mac OS ³classic²
they behave like Modal dialogs.
And (version 5) this:
A Drawer window was introduced into the Mac OS with version 10. A Drawer
slides out of a side or the top or bottom of a main window to provide
supplemental information. For example, the Mac OS X Mail application uses a
Drawer window to display the user¹s list of mailboxes. A Drawer window is
supported only on Mac OS X; on Windows, a window of this type appears as a
separate floating window.
