You may be looking for -makeFirstResponder: in the NSWindow class. 

-acceptsFirstResponder should be called automatically...

If not, you'll need to provide more details on what you are trying to 
accomplish.

You can use -setNextResponder: in the NSResponder class to modify the responder 
chain and insert your own stuff.

I would suggest reading the Cocoa Event-Handling Guide ( http://bit.ly/9hx11x 
). There is a lot of good, important stuff in there, including stuff on the 
responder chain. 

I might also suggest picking up a copy of 

Cocoa Design Patterns (Paperback)
~ Erik M. Buck
• ISBN-10: 0321535022
• ISBN-13: 978-0321535023

There is a chapter in this book on the responder chain and, basically, 
everything else in the book is stuff you're going to want to know.
