I don't think anyone can tell you the best way to proceed, since it depends on so many factors. Abstractly, I think I'd encourage you to operate at the highest level possible. So, rather than wrapping individual methods, as you seem to be suggesting above, rather transfer into pure Obj-C code for the entire task of handling the open or save dialog, passing in a structure of context information if you need to do something like configure the standard dialog or filter with delegate methods. That might ease your task by letting you use a natural Obj-C idiom for the Cocoa parts. Also, if you change the rest of (or, more of) the application to Cocoa later, you're not stuck with the task of re-re-converting the Carbonish Cocoa wrappers.
