Your NSDocument subclass is a model controller. Think of the model as being strictly the data your app works with -- all the NSStrings, NSDatas, and other value types that compose a meaningful file/document/whatever. Your NSDocument subclass is the controller which manages all of that data in the context of the rest of your application. This manifests itself a bit subtly. For example, strictly speaking your app's data has no way of knowing how to save itself. Your NSDocument subclass, in its role as model controller, does. --Kyle Sluder _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list ([email protected]) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
