Yes, because the "File's Owner" of that xib instance is your HF_Browser and its connections are restored when a new document is instantiated (and a new copy of your XIB's object graph is 'awakened'). > In MainMenu.xib I have a menu command, 'Jump To' (invoked with Cmd-J).

You're only creating an instance of your document object (without allowing Cocoa to open a copy of the xib and restore connections). All you have is a lone instance of your NSDocument subclass. Re-read this document: http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/Documents/Documents.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/10000006 See below for the right way to do this. > When I hit Cmd-J my method- (IBAction)MenuJumpTo:(id)sender is called > perfectly but within this method I can't get any reference to the window at > all. Can you please advise? Your code is called because you have a valid instance of your document subclass. Because it was not correctly created by Cocoa's document machinery, none of its outlets (including "window") are connected to anything. If you want your main menu to be able to send messages to a document, you need to connect their actions to the First Responder icon within your xib. The front-most document will be the first responder to that message so it'll receive it.
