Re: Best way to get the window of an NSDocument?

It's a Model-View-Controller thing. NSDocument is your model, the
window is your view. The model should not have references to the
controller or view, but it is the controller that references the model.
At least that is how see things.

Once you start having references both ways, you'll quickly end up
having retain cycles and other 'fun'.
