In true Perl style, there's more than one way to do it. :-) You can also create the contextual menu in Interface Builder. Then, ctrl-drag a connection from the parent widget to the menu, and double-click "menu" in the "Outlets" pane of the Info panel. > For the app menu from the doc, you need to have an applicationDockMenu > delegate method in your application delegate object. This, too, can be done in IB. In "MainMenu.nib", create a new menu. Then, ctrl-drag a connection from the "File's Owner" icon to the menu, and double-click "dockMenu" in the Outlets pane. sherm--
