While this is true, I'm using - (NSMenuItem *)itemWithTitle:(NSString
*)aString to get the item if it exists and using that pointer from
then on out instead of replacing it.  So, let's say I want to modify
the File menu, if I have a pointer to it when the app closes, should I
be worried about freeing it if it was generated from a nib file and
not procedurally by me in the code?

A) Everything's freed when your app terminates, so it a little late to be worrying about memory management (it's while it's running that this truly matters). B) Get it right anyway because proper memory management is the key to an app that doesn't suck. C) Read this: http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/MemoryMgmt/Tasks/MemoryManagementRules.html

Study it. Devote your life to its happiness. Castrate yourself and drink phenolbarbitol if it asks you to, if only to belong ...
