Sorry, I meant "inspect it."  Xcode's terminology is "Get Info."

Just select the instance of NSObject that you dragged into your IB 
document, and select "Identity Inspector" directly from the Tools 
menu.  The keyboard equivalent for this is Command-6.  It will open 
the Inspector window, and take you directly to the Object Identity 
inspector from where you can change the class of your NSObject 
instance, add outlets and actions, and even add comments on it that 
will remain in the Interface Builder document.
