Does anyone understand the use of the "File's Owner" object given in the
window along with the suitcases and such, in Interface Builder?  I've read
the docs and this, and still don't have a clue exactly what the use of
this object is.  Am I supposed to use it as if it were my Application Object?

And, just out of curiousity, is anyone else out there as irked as I am at some
of the interface oddities of Interface Builder?  Things like the incorporation
of both the object and class browser in a single window confused me for quite
a while--I was never quite sure why sometimes items in the pulldown menus
were greyed out, while at other times they were active.  The difficulty in
figuring out how to take instances of subclasses of predefined interface
classes.  That sort of thing.

Thanks in advance,
Ken McDonald
