Here's a recipe I discovered recently: Consult the Apple Human Interface Guidelines PDF [1], which sometimes has an "Implementation" section that tells you what classes, APIs, or constants to use.
In this case, browsing for this section:
Part III: Aqua
> Windows
> Dialogs
> Types of Dialogs and When to Use Them
> Sheets (Document-Modal Dialogs)
...reveals the key word "sheet", which in NSAlert.h will lead you straight to
-[NSAlert beginSheetModalForWindow:modalDelegate:didEndSelector:contextInfo:]
In the old days, the HI Guidelines always left us to discover the appropriate implementation ourselves. I like the new "Implementation" sections a lot, though currently they seem to only exist for the various views and controls.

Does anyone know what I need to do to do this?
