What I've done is create an AppController class, and added that to

there a more direct way to do things? Am I going to need an

That's one way to do it, but the general Cocoa way to do this is to
wire that menu item (in MainMenu.nib) to the First Responder.
Ah, I get it now. Very elegant. And much easier than having to write
a FindCommandStatus () and ObeyCommand () function. I'm seeing a lot
of things like this that should go into some sort of FAQ for
PowerPlant programmers. Maybe I'll get inspired and start one. (I
didn't just say that in public did I? Oops!)
