But the  terminate function takes an id for sender. What shall I use?

In this case, you're the sender so you can pass "self". Or, if you're within an action method (IBAction) you can forward the sender that was passed to you.

In truth, I don't believe the -[NSApplication terminate:] method makes any use of its sender parameter. It's only declared that way to match the signature of an action method.

It's a matter of personal style, but I always use 'self'.

My action methods are typically invoked in multiple ways: directly by some control (where the sender is that control); by scripting engine where the sender is the 'script' object; and by speech recognition engine that simulates actions.

In my action methods, it's nice to sometimes log info out about the sender. Thus, I never use nil.
