Okay, I see them now. I was missing them in the rather long list of outlets (over 130!) for the main controller.

I wanted to understand this better because I want to re-factor the code so that there are NOT 135 outlets for one controller. Currently we have two windows that handle different tasks, but share the controller. I want separate controllers for each window/task.

Thanks, Ken.

This puzzles me. I am tracing through some code in which I am looking at the value of some selected popup menu items. I am seeing the correct values for them, but I have to confess I don't know how the code is connected to the popup, or just why the code even works! I see the connections for the buttons on the interface, and I hit the breakpoints I expect, but I don't see any connections between the member variables and the popup items.

There are instance vars for the popups in the code, but I don't see how they are connected to the NIB.

It sounds to me like you're not familiar with "outlets", which is a pretty basic part of Cocoa GUI design. You probably need to review the conceptual documentation:
