If that's the case, then you just need to Control-drag from your Close menu item to the First Responder in the nib and connect it to the close: action. If you've already done that and it still doesn't work then I'm lost.

I don't know how to create a new "MainMenu" from scratch, but my suggestion would be to create a new plain app project, open the MainMenu NIB, copy the MainMenu object from there and paste it into your MenuMenu NIB. Then, remove all unneeded menus & items and remember to wire up your "Close Window" item to the "performClose:" action in First Responder.
