Yup you got it.  I actually tracked down an Apple doc in regards to that last 
evening.

I did go ahead and set it up correctly in awakeFromNib as follows:

// DUE to NSBrowser bug in regards to its implementation
// of acceptsFirstResponder, forcibly load it and then
// make it the first responder
[ midiInBrowser loadColumnZero ];
[ [ selfwindow ] makeFirstResponder: midiInBrowser ];

I did have a bit of a research project in that setInitialResponder did not 
result in desired behavior but makeFirstResponder did.  From the little bit I 
could glean from setInitialResponder it seems like this call merely "caches" an 
NSResponder to be set via makeFirstResponder at a later date.

Given that, I can only assume that within awakeFromNib, I'd passed the "later 
date" where setInitialResponder could "cache" usefully.

Always a learning experience. :)

Cheers,
--aj

Aj -- I believe this was a bug fixed in 10.6; maybe 10.5. What OS are you on?

The work around is to set it up in awakeFromNib.
