This is going to sound really stupid, but how do you show an

close it, but idiotically enough, I can't seem to find a way re-show
the window once it's no longer on-screen. [aWindow
makeKeyAndOrderFront:sender] will only bring the window forward if
it's already visible, and doesn't seem to do anything if the window
isn't already there. I've searched through NSWindow's class
reference, and I may be overlooking something obvious, but I just
can't seem to figure this out.
Thanks,

Well, I can think of something. I do this all the time for things like
an info window. I have an app controller with an IBOutlet to the
window I want to hide and show and I call [aWindow
makeKeyAndOrderFront:self] to show it and [aWindow close] to hide it.
You need to make sure that you have the "Release when Closed" checkbox
turned off in IB to make sure it doesn't, uh ... get released when
closed.
If it's not showing when you do this, look in the debugger console to
see if you are getting an exception and check in the debugger when you
are about to show it and see if it's stale.
Hope that helps.
