I think I finally get "File's owner" :-) So, if I understand you correctly, having set File's owner to the appropriate class ( in this case AppController) I set the appropriate **proxy** outlet of File's owner to the object ( in this case NSPanel instance) and when the Nib is loaded, AppController's IBOutlet gets set to the NSPanel instance, allowing me to send a message from AppController ( set title etc) during run-time.

Correct, although I would apply the word "proxy" to File's Owner itself, not its outlets.


Of course...again  :-)

Ken...thanks for that really illuminating discourse on File's owner. As I look back, I am not sure why this is so confusing, but clearly it's a hurdle that many novices go through ( a quick search of the archives will attest to that)....so, hopefully this will be my insight to the next level.

With much thanks again.
Michael.
