Wow, Ken, thank you for such a thoughtful and detailed response. I
need to read it a few more times to understand it better, but it has
been very useful already. I recognize a couple of points were I might
have gone astray in my first try.
Oh, and thanks for your second response, too. For a lot of this
stuff, I just need someone to tell me to "look at categories or
bindings" or whatever. Facing the ObjC/Cocoa/IBuilder thing,
sometimes I just wnat a hint as to where to look for the
documentation, of at least the terminology to look up.

runtime errors of the type: "Could not connect the action
someNSApplicationAction: to target of class MyController". I don't
understand this at all, but I am more worried that I am just
completely off track in trying to create a new controller, and
that fixing this problem will just allow me to go even farther
into the weeds.
This sounds like the nib you received had controls which were
configured to deliver their action to the File's Owner target.
When you change the class of File's Owner, you change which actions
it responds to. These actions are/were part of AppController or
its category AppController(ExtraCategory), but are not part of your
new controller.
