I want it to call NSDocumentController's openDocument: which is the action
of the "Open ..." File menu item. I use my override of NSDocument's
readFromURL: to do my unique stuff after NSApp's runModal dialog is
dismissed.

Absolutely . So in my sub-class of NSDocument, I call my own customized
Toolbar routine(s) within my override of -windowControllerDidLoadNib. Just
how do I pass an instance of NSDocumentController to these Toolbar
routine(s)? Only the NSWindowController is passed to
the windowControllerDidLoadNib method, not the NSDocumentController? If I
can somehow get an instance of NSDocumentController, then I could
call: [MyNSDocumentController
URLsFromRunningOpenPanel]; which apparently is the 1st thing done within
openDocument:
Which begs the question .. do I also wish to create a sub-class of
NSDocumentController within my mainNib file also and do the Toolbar stuff
within there .. don't see how right now, but I have done very little
thinking about this possibility.
If I seem like I'm grasping at a windmill, that is very accurate.
