Jens: Right - that's exactly my question - I don't know that I have to do this while loop. Is starting the thread after the window pops up enough? Is there anything about *not* waiting for NSApplication to set this window as its modal window that might cause a problem with getting input from the window? I suspect that your reaction means that the answer is: get rid of the while loop. Thanks.
