Hi all,
I wonder if I could get some clarity on this issue.
Hillegass asks, ( challenge chapter 12) to create a custom About Panel.
I have ( surprisingly) done this quite easily :-)...but I am left with this one puzzle.

**Very** briefly, the set up is as follows.

AppController has an outlet (IBOutlet NSPanel *aboutWindow) and a method (-(IBAction) showPanel: (id) sender;)



"Custom" xib file;
File's owner  =  AppController.
File's owner (aboutWindow) outlet points to the NSPanel object in the xib.



"Main Menu" xib
AppController object to which the "About NewApplication" from the MainMenu is connected ( pointing to the method "showPanel").


My question is this.

The inspector of File's owner in the "Custom" xib shows, as expected an outlet ( which is connected) as well as the method "showPanel" which is *not* connected. In fact, I am unable to "connect" ( if that is the correct terminology) the "About NewApplication" to this, or to the File's owner (control-drag), but am able to do so to the AppController object in the mainMenu.xib

Is this just the way it is, or is there some good logical explanation for this that will help in my deeper understanding of cocoa?

Thanks in advance.
