Thanks Doug. I found my problem was the main run loop was not available to
receive the notification, as I had assumed it would come to the run loop
where the observer was added. But then I remembered how notifications
worked and knew I needed to allow my main run loop to have time to accept
the notification. It's working fine now. Thanks again.
