Launching an About box.

    I'm about half way through the Hillegass book and have so far worked all
the "challanges" except one.  I have been unable to do what I'm sure is a
simple task of launching a custom "About" screen from a Nib.  I have
successfully loaded the Nib using the NSBundle methods and have redirected
the "About" menu to my AppController.  However, I have yet to be able to
display it.  The "challenge" (p 181) mentions sending
"makeKeyAndOrderFront" to the window.

    I believe the point is to pop the window directly (from my
AppController) without using a window controller.  This seems reasonable
because no connections are required.  The user can then just close the
window.  So far, I don't see how to instantiate the window and get a
reference to it.  The window controller normally does this.  I also haven't
found any examples that do this.  What am I missing?
