Thank you for your help. It makes sense to me: keep the data model in the app delegate, but implement the data source protocol methods in the History window controller. But then, I'm still wondering how I can reference the app delegate and the data model from the data source protocol methods. I'm sure it's pretty obvious, but clearly I'm still missing something. When allocating and initializing the HistoryController from the app delegate, I suppose I could somehow pass a reference to 'self' to the HistoryController instance. Would this be the way to proceed? -- Luc Van Bogaert luc.van.boga...@me.com _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
