Ah, ok...Thanks...that reference I snipped is handy too! I just tried to do
this but now Interface Builder is saying that the window is undefined. How
do I refer to a window I created in IB within my program? I need to send a
message to my window, but I created it in Interface Builder so I don't know
how to get an NSWindow pointer to send it to within my code.
Thanks!
