Thanks for all the responses.
I have managed to get it working using Jens response... it seems I got
a bit confused about how the linking via IB goes.
@Ron, thanks for the recommendation, I am finding it very difficult to
find good resources for Cocoa programming, and the apple developer
docs are not exactly easy to follow.
Many thanks
Guy

Even if it was a subclass of NSWindow, which I think is what you want (a window, right?), you still set up a separate window in code with alloc-init, which in any case is not a window but an NSObject. Really, at this point, you can't keep asking questions without first doing some basic homework yourself. I doubt that people here will bother answering your questions until you've done that.
