I would us a document based app if I was you, all you have to do is remove the save and open actions. If you use the undo manager you will also have to override a method to stop the document from being 'dirtied' so that it will not show the bullet in the close button and show a save alert when the user tries to close the window. Trying to implement all of the rest of that functionality yourself is just going to be a wasted effort. One of the benifits of the document base project templates is all application that use that project template all behave in a consitent manner.
