Maybe somebody who is Cocoa-aware can verify if this is correct...

I control dragged the menu to FilesOwner application object, then set  
the QuitApplication to Terminate and connected all of the others  
(except for prefs, etc)

Seems to work now. Wondering what else is broken though still. Pooey.  
Anyhow, that was easy. If that's how it is supposed to be.

I notice a 'raw' made MainMenu has simply a 'delegate' outlet but no  
connection to NSApplication..

Mine says Delegate : NSApplication (on the connections pane of  
Inspector)
