I meant how do you get a reference to the delegate in First Responder? You said before: "In general, it should be connected to First Responder (in fact nil) to an action of your choice. Then that action can be implemented where it makes most sense, which is likely to be the application delegate." Which means a call chain Menu->Preferences->First Responder->Application Delegate-> preferences panel, right? Okay, okay so First Responder isn't technically in the call chain, because it's a place-holder. But if it doesn't exist, then why not bind Menu->Preferences to the Application Delegate's custom -( IBAction ) preferences: method? I guess I don't know how to use First Responder to call the Application Delegate, or instances of any other object.
