On a side note: I notice the Basic/Scientific/Programmer menu items
are not in the nib, so they must be generated programmatically at
startup.  I also can't find the views for these three modes in the
nib, so either I'm missing something or they are generated
programmatically, which seems like a strange approach.

They're plugins, stored in a subfolder of the package. Presumably, adding more plugins would add to the menu and to the sequence of states through which the zoom box cycles.


To the OP: Please put a *lot* of thought into whether you really need to do this. Despite the fact that a couple of Apple applications deviate from the semantics of the zoom button it's extremely non- standard behavior. Even if you do it well and to good effect (like iTunes, IMO) you'll irritate a lot of users. The fact that Calculator alters the meaning of a button that most users (wrongly) think is supposed to toggle between full screen and "where I set it" to effectively change itself into a completely different app (beyond the baseline notion of 'calculator') is just ... blech.
