You typically can't (or at least shouldn't) set a concrete, ie. non-nil, target for menu items that may serve different parts of the UI at different times - Like Cut / Copy / Paste. You may ask: If I don't set a target, how will the menu item find a receiver for its action? Well, that's a service provided by the responder chain. One of the core concepts of UI programming on the Mac, so hone in on that when you're reading up on t his.
