You want to make the menu item's target the FirstResponder in the nib. The
rule is that when an object is hooked up this way, the action message that
it sends will go up the responder chain to the first responder who can
handle it. The chain is determined at the moment the message is sent, and
includes the window, its delegate, and its NSWindowController (if I
remember correctly). Thus you get lots of opportunity to handle the message
from within the nib where the drawer/window pair lives. m.
