  You *have* hooked up this outlet in IB, have you?

  Of course not. myWindow is an NSWindow, showWindows is a method on 
NSDocument. It's like telling a skating rink to fly :-S

  Check out the docs. Display is for redrawing a window that's 
already visible, not for actually showing it.

> [myWindow makeKeyAndOrderFront:nil];//this doesn't work either


  These two *should* work.

  Do you have a good book on Cocoa? I strongly suggest you get Aaron 
Hillegass's "Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X (2nd ed.)". It will walk 
you through all the basics.
