At runtime the framework (or code of your own) creates an HF_Browser instance making it the owner of the xib file that contains the window you describe. This instance is hooked up with the window, etc. allowing it to message the UI. > In MainMenu.xib I have a menu command, 'Jump To' (invoked with Cmd-J).

By dragging an object into your MainMenu xib you are creating an object instance (in this case an instance of HF_Browser). Then you connect a menu item with that instance. At runtime when your MainMenu xib is load an instance of HF_Browser is unarchived, one not associated with any document and having no ownership of the xib containing the window it is meant to manage. > 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. Yup because the instance you created is not associated with any window or document. > Can you please advise? Don't try to connect your menu item that way and remove the HF_Browers instance you created in your main menu xib.
