Assumed as much.

Yes. FBtoC was built to handle FB's standard dialog handler/menu  
handler (i.e. on menu fn xxxx    on dialog fn yyyyyyy)

Some mixing might work but don't me hold to it unless we get into  
specifics. If you must do mixing (i.e. programmatic window/control  
creation and nib window/control creation), I'd recommend not mixing  
on the same window. In other words, one window can be all nib-based  
and another window can be created programmatically. As you've  
apparently found out, mixing both on the same window invites trouble.
