Thanks to everyone for their responses—I think I have quite a good handle on how this works, now. I'm new to bindings, and I'll have to stop thinking of the built-in controllers as black boxes!

So, that said,

That's a really good point. My application isn't doing anything that can't be undone really easily. I was modeling the behavior after Address Book, which is similar in some ways UI-wise to the window I'm dealing with, but didn't stop to think that I find its always asking me if I want to delete a card really obnoxious. In short, it sounds like the right thing to do in my case is definitely to *not* run an alert sheet.


Thanks again,
Evan
