but they are already assigned to .. the first responder I think. And they are disabled menu items too .. what enables them?

It's easy, you must assign in Interface Builder an action to those menu items that do the tasks you want.

First post. I've been dragging my way through the Cocoa documentation and trying some simple apps. I started with non- document apps and of course you still get the File menu, but most of it's disabled. I understand that when you create a document-based app (and I have a lot more reading to do there) those menu items are enabled and you get the file browser etc for free.

I was trying to figure out if it's possible to enable and use the file save and open even on a non-document-based app, eg assume some stupidly simple app which just lets you 'open' any file you like and gives you information about it in a window. I haven't been able to understand what's driving those menu items, what's enabling and disabling them in the Document-based app which isn't there in a non- document-based one and what methods I'd need to supply if I wanted to add that kind of support.

Is there an example out there somewhere of a non-document-based app which uses some or all of the file menu items, or a piece of API documentation I haven't found which explains it? Or is this just something you just don't do .. if you want to use File menu stuff at all .. you make a document-based app?

Thanks
