Please don't be scared ;-)
Well I'm little bit in a hurry … will look more closely tonight, but:

What I've done til now is inside readFromURL:ofType:error:
1. Open the file and store it NSString currentFileContents
2. Process currentFileContents  in a new object myDataFile (withc class 
DataFileParser) by extracting the data values etc. with NSScanner, this takes 
most time
3. return YES if everything is OK in readFromURL

So I thought that then makeWindowControllers comes in action ?!...
In makeWindowControllers:
1. Pass myDataFile if it's not nil > create a new MainWindowController and pass 
myDataFile to it like
mainWindowController = [[DataViewerWindowController alloc] 
initWithDataFile:myDataFile];
  [self addWindowController:mainWindowController];
        
Hope this clarifies a little bit what I'm doing…well doing something wrong …..
