File's Owner

In two cases I have not been able to figure out what "File's Owner" does in the Interface Builder window. In the case of a "document-based" app built from the template, there seems to be no reason for the "File's Owner"
Icon in the IB MainMenu.nib window since nothing is connected to it; in the second case of a straight Cocoa app, there does not seem to be any reason for the "File's Owner" Icon since the real file's owner has to be instantiated and the resulting blue cube icon is the one that connections are made too. Not "File's Owner!" No doubt there is some explanation somewhere hidden away concerning this, or even in plain view, but I have not found it. Tried Sherlock and MarshmallowLibrarian to no avail. Hard to believe "File's Owner" got no hits searching Developer! I also looked at several other programs downloaded from Softrak before I was banned there, and looked at all the connections, which verified that no connections are being made to this "File's Owner" Icon--in either the doc-based or straight Cocoa app. Any clues for this clueless beginner will be chewed over closely. Thanks!
