This is actually quite simple. In Project Builder, use File | New
Project to create a "Cocoa Application" project. At this point, you can
build it and see a main window.
Open the file MainMenu.nib (it appears under "Resources" in the Groups
and Files list in Project Builder). You should now see Interface Builder
and the open nib file. In the nib file, you should find an icon for a
window object called "Window." This is your main window.
If necessary, double click the Window icon to open the window object.
You can now drag and drop controls onto the window as needed. You can
also drag new window objects from the Cocoa-Windows Palette to the
desktop to create new windows. This will add window object icons to your
nib file.
Note: This is the quick and dirty way to get a simple dialog-based app.
I more sophisticated app will separate window resources into other nib
files with their own window controllers, etc.
I hope this helps,
Michael

Please forgive me if this topic has been addressed before, I recently
joined the list. I've been working my way through 'Learning Cocoa", and
am starting to get a grasp of Cocoa development. My question is: how
does one implement a dialog-based app? The Document based app doesn't
really apply. Do you simply create each dialog with it's own nib file?
I know this may seem like a silly question, but I could not really find
a good example of a multiple window based application that was not
based on documents. Thanks in advance for any input.
