<chuckle> Sorry, but I've noted a distinct tendency for folks to give me
answers that either go zipping right over my head into territory I don't
even BEGIN to grasp, or don't fit what I'm trying to ask if I don't get
downright anal with the way I ask the question. Call it "self defense",
if you will. :)

Thanks. That sounds like it could easily be exactly what I need. I'll
hit the books for NSWorkspace to find out details - another "nook and
cranny" of Cocoa I haven't explored yet. As someone else noted not too
long ago, the learning curve for Obj-C isn't so bad, but for Cocoa it's
pretty much a sheer vertical. I wish they weren't so right about that
observation!

Noted for future. Until now, nobody has mentioned that being a problem.
Seems like c.l.o-c is pretty much dead 'cept for me and a couple other
newbies and the "gurus" who answer us, and that it's *MORE OR LESS*
become semi-synonymous with Cocoa/Mac programming, since that appears to
be where the bulk of Obj-C programming is happening these days.
(Never mind the fact that I'm still enough of an Obj-C/Cocoa rookie that
I'm never *REALLY* sure if I'm asking about the language, the framework,
or a mixture of both - The line between Obj-C and Cocoa is hard, if not
impossible, for me to spot. Kinda like spotting the line between "The C
language" and "The C Standard Library")
