Sorry folks, but there are things about IB that just don't make sense to me.

How on earth to I communicate with an object that has been instantiated by Interface Builder???


Declare an IBOutlet pointer connecting an instantiated class to the instantiated object. Then read the instantiated class's header file into IB, which is normally done automatically, but you may have to do it manually if you're working on a framework.

Except in this case James said he has an AppController, which is presumably in MainMenu.nib.

I'm not familiar with document-based apps, but I suspect that rather than establish an outlet connection the AppController's code needs to call some sort of method that refers to the currently active document, maybe by sending a -document message to the active window's delegate.
