Do you really need this. Doesn't SelectedNotebook[] provide the
functionality you need for working with a particular Notebook?
In[1]:= SelectedNotebook[]
Out[1]=-NotebookObject-
Note that, if you unformat this output, you can find out more
information about this NotebookObject:
Out[1]=
Cell[BoxData[
FormBox[
InterpretationBox[
RowBox[{
"\[SkeletonIndicator]", "NotebookObject",
"\[SkeletonIndicator]"}],
NotebookObject[
FrontEndObject[
LinkObject[ "Mathematica 3.0", 1, 1]], 77],
Editable->False], TraditionalForm]], "Output",
CellLabel->"Out[1]="]
Cheers,
Paul
