There are 2 books that you need -- RUN, do not walk, to the nearest good 
computer book selction near you and buy Scott Knaster's _How_to_Write
Macintosh_Software_, and _Macintosh_Programming_Secrets_..  Scott Knaster
works for Apple, and explains the process of Macintosh development better
than ANYONE else....You're also going to need volumes 1,2,4 and 5, of
_Inside_Macintosh_, like or not....Volume 3 is optioinal, personally I refuse
to pay $20 for 6 pages of information....(The rest of the book is outdated.)
