Raleigh,
Ahhh. Certainly I was suspecting that the some other class wanted to deal
with the key equivelant.

I started down this "select all" path, cuz when I tried the Cmd-A key-equiv
in my application, all I got was a beep. I then assumed that I needed to
deal w/ Cmd-A myself, since I had overridden keyDown:
When I said "uneditable", I was referring to the "Table Column attributes"
cuz I had un-checked the "Editable" box to disallow any editting. I was
thinking that maybe that had some effect on the Cmd-A operation.
Note that I do *not* have an Edit menu at all in this application. And the
multiple selection *is* enabled for the table view. In fact, for the table
view "Selection" I have Multiple, Column, Empty, Type Select all checked.

That was not the objective; in fact, multiple selection (via the mouse) is
working just fine and as expected. I was simply surprised that Cmd-A was not
working.
As you can probably tell, I am tromping in a lot of new territory...
Comments appreciated,
