Good - you prompted me to check one of my old sample projects from
Learning Cocoa (I actually learned a lot from it - despite all the
complaining about it), and it has the correct behavior.
This helps - somewhere between the example multiple-document project
and my current code is where I went wrong...
Thanks,
Chuck

My understanding is that if you use NSDocument, this is handled

this method and proceed accordingly....

I'm finding that the AppKit is not honoring the Human Interface
guidelines about how to handle untitled documents when swapping
from background to foreground.
My understanding of the human interface guidelines is that when an
App switches to the foreground, *some* sort of document needs to
open. If there is already a document, that's fine - it should come
to the foreground. If there is not already a document, either a
minimized one should de-minimize (what's the right term here?), or
a new "Untitled" document should open.
I would expect the AppKit to just handle this correctly for
multiple-document applications, but it's certainly not doing it for
me.
What's the story here? Is my expectation just wrong? Do I have a
configuration problem? I'm sure I can figure out how to do this
myself, but it seems like AppKit should handle this itself...
