Thank you to Laurent and Drew for the responses, which helped me clarify my
question --

How do I get my model to know that an NSUndoManager exists in my document?
I think I need to either pass the undo manager "down" to the model or have
the model keep a pointer "up" to the document, but I'm lost in either case
in that I can't figure out exactly how to do it in a way that works.

Currently I have in my document's header:
- (NSUndoManager *)undoManager;

and in the implementation:

- (NSUndoManager *)undoManager {
return [self undoManager];
}

Is that correct? If not, how should I do it? If it is correct, then what
should I do differently in the set method below (from my model's
implementation) to get it to recognize "undoManager" (which Xcode says is
undeclared)?

- (void)setBookTitle:(NSString *)title;
{
[[undoManager prepareWithInvocationTarget:self]
setBookTitle:newBookTitle];
[newBookTitle release];
newBookTitle = title;
}

I've tried Drew's suggestion:
[[[doc undoManager] prepareWithInvocationTarget:self]];

But then Xcode says "doc" is undeclared, etc...

I'm clearly missing something or am doing something wrong and need a nudge
(violent shove?) in the right direction. Thank you for the assistance thus
far...
