Thanks for the help. For some reason I pulled a custom view onto the
screen and also pulled an object over to the file (instantiating an

window. I don't know what I was thinking. Works well now.
Thanks

do you mean it compiles? It runs without crashing?

I just noticed something.
If I put
NSLog(@"%@", [self subviews]);
into the drawRect: method, I get the following out put right after the
app loads
