And to carry Matt's story a little further, it is still up to you to decide what more you want to put in the MainMenu nib file. The template already includes File's Owner, First Responder, the application object, a menubar with menus, and a window. I just started a new application from this template, and the first thing I did was to add a "MainWindowController" object to the nib file, designate a new MainWindowController class as its owner, and connect up various outlets so they could all say hello to each other. I am now putting code to control the window into the MainWindowController class in order to maintain a certain degree of encapsulation, although I also send a couple of messages to the window from the appDelegate for convenience. -- Bill Cheeseman - b...@cheeseman.name _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
