I'm not clear on how to make a particular text field be the 'target'
(i.e., highlighted and ready for key events, probably equivalent to
being first responder). For instance, when I install a custom view
programatically, I want the first text field in that subview to be
active. The documentation isn't quite clear on what I need to do ...
maybe setNextResponder, but sent to what object?

NSWindow has a method called

- (BOOL)makeFirstResponder:(NSResponder *)aResponder;

so for a text field do this

[[textField window] makeFirstResponder:textField];
