I am going nuts.

I can not find any documentation on FirstResponder as it relates to Interface builder.

I completely understand the function of the NSReponder class. I understand Objective C. I understand how to create classes in Interface builder. I am completely lost and read quite a bit and can not find anything about how FirstResponder works and talks to the application. When I look where it's class is, I see it is a Subclass of NSObject, not NSResponder. ??weird??

Okay, so I figure there is some .h file that tells me about FirstResponder but cannot find anything. If FirstResponder has methods......where are they defined? Does anyone know of a place that explains the operation and usage of FirstResponder?

Here is another one on FirstResponder. If you open the Sketch example from apple .... /Developer/Examples/Appkit/Sketch there is a nib in the resources called Draw2.nib. The FirstResponder has 90 actions. Yet, some actions are dark and some are light colored. I would figure that the ones light-colored are ones that are not implemented. This would start me to think that FirstResponder might be a Protocol or Category. Well this is where I get completely befuddled. The application implements a FirstResponder:newDocument but in this project is not dark but light colored.

What is FirstResponder and how can in this example be using the method newDocument?

I have one hair left and got my fingers on it......

Jim
