I realize that under OS X things are different and they simply don't work that way. I also know that menus do have a handler and I *assume* that even if a menu is greyed out or a sheet is open (which I understand is modal) that the main window can still handle events or messages. So what I want to do under OS X is write my own app that periodically will force this app to save its document by calling the same handler as what the Save menu command would call. Again, I do realize that "bad things may happen", but for this app we are using its worth trying for me.
Typically you'd do this by issuing an AppleScript command, which you can do with the NSAppleScript class. Something like "tell application MyApp to save document in front of documents" ought to work if the hypothetical MyApp is an NSDocument-based application.
