Re: How do I replace the "Do you want to save changes...?" sheet?

Mark,

Many thanks for your reply. Actually, your code is just what I had in
mind when I asked the original question. As for my motivation to replace
the "Do you want to save..." alert  I didn't want to give up on using
NSDocument just because my users don't think of their documents as
"documents".

BTW, I've seen this many times:

if (inAlertSheet) [inAlertSheet orderOut:self];

and wondered  when a sheet is created by NSBeginAlertSheet, does
orderOut:ing it also releases it? If not, then how, when and by whom is
it released eventually?

Thanks again,
-- Dan
