My apologies for not seeing the answer from the 11th; it was exactly on
point and your suggestion fully works.  Like the other person you
helped, I have no excuse for not finding it on my own, particularly as
your answer re the sheet was exactly analogous to my putting up the
window.

Just to note, I had tried -windowDidLoad, -windowDidBecomeKey, and
-windowDidBecomeMain but like -awakeFromNib, they are too early; the
main window has not yet actually been drawn on the screen and until it
is, it becomes the front window when all is said and done.  Your
suggestion of forcing a run through the event loop solved the problem. 
At that point, I can use -awakeFromNib, or any of the delegate
functions.

Anyway, thank you again.
