I don't think I really gave enough explanation here...
What I was really curious about, is not the connections per se, but
actually the GUI.
The fact that when you click on button "X" which is defined in your NIB
file, it calls function "abc" in your code.
I guess the part I'm confused about is that you define your objects in
IB.
In Java, for instance, you actually have to say... "I want a button
named 'Button' and I want it put here in such and such panel, and I want
it to call such and such method."
In IB, I'm defining my buttons, and making a connection that tells the
button to call function xyz, but I'm not seeing any of the code for the
GUI.
This is very cool, in that I don't have to worry about it, but at the
same time, I'm a little bit confused about how the various pieces
interact...
It's becoming more clear as I play with things though.
I guess what I really meant to say was...
Is IB required to build an application with Cocoa?
Do I *have* to set my windows up in IB? Can I programmatically define a
window, and manually add buttons to it?
Thanks,

So what are you trying to do?
Right now, I'm trying to figure out how IB fits into Cocoa-based apps.
I'm totally new to the GUI paradigm, but I've done quite a bit of C/C++
stuff, as well as quite a bit of Java, which seems a bit simpler, in
that I set everything up myself.
IB seems hazy, and I'd like to understand it better.
Thanks for your reply.
