It's not very common, but perfectly acceptable practice in some
cases to have an all-in-one window. As long as Mark allows the user
to create another window if they wish.
Though Mail is not a doc-based app, it allows you to create
multiple windows (File | New Viewer Window). I recommend this
approach, if you want to have an all-in-one doc-based or non-doc-
based app.
There have been discussions about how to do this previously (a
year or three ago?). I can't remember if it's in this list's archives
or if it's at cocoadev.com, but you should be able to find it with a
few choice keywords. The poster wanted to create a document-based
application with an all-in-one window. I can't remember why, but the
explanation provided seemed like a good reason, if memory serves.

I would like to take advantage of Core Data. The

However, I wish to maintain the appearance of a single
window App into which data from a document is loaded,
rather than having lots of documents open, littering
the desktop as Word or Photoshop might.
Mark,
I think most people appreciate having the option of opening
multiple documents/databases even if they seldom use this feature.
I automatically open the last used document in Debt Quencher so
most people will probably never "litter" the desktop with multiple
documents, but they can if they so desire. Why limit someone unless
you are trying to maintain a single library of information like
iTunes or iPhoto?
Peace,
