If you have no idea what the First Responder is, you are clearly out of your depth. Step back and read up on the Responder Chain. It is a very important concept and central to Cocoa.

In a Cocoa Document project (latest Xcode), I want to have only one document
open at a time.  I thought that I could do this by subclassing
NSDocumentController but I have been only partially successful.  For
instance, just as a test, the subclass code contains

-(BOOL)validateUserInterfaceItem:(id < NSValidatedUserInterfaceItem >)sender
{
  SEL a = [sender action];

  if (a == @selector(newDocument:))
     return NO;
  if (a == @selector(openRecentDocument:))
     return NO;

  return [super validateUserInterfaceItem:sender];
}

The disabling of newDocument: works but the second test fails. It appears that the subclass receives only newDocument: and openDocument: actions, not
openRecentDocument:

Moreover, IB says only that Open Recent goes to First Responder and I have no idea what that First Responder is (else I might be able to subclass it).

There must be an easy way to do all of this. Could someone point me to a
code example somewhere?  Or a good description?

TIA.
