This has to be a FAQ, but here goes:

I want keyboard events from the main window of my application.  Sounds simple  
enough, but I'm having problems.

I have a view with the following things overridden: keyDown and mouseDown.

First I tried the following:

#import <stdlib.h>
#import <appkit/Application.h>
#import "MyView.h"

void main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    id mv;

    NXApp = [Application new];
    [NXApp loadNibSection:"t.nib" owner:NXApp];
    mv = [[MyView alloc] init];
    [[NXApp mainWindow] setContentView:mv];
    [NXApp run];
    [NXApp free];
    exit(0);
}

This doesn't get me the keyboard or mouse events.

Next I tried making my own window and then doing stuff with it:

#import <stdlib.h>
#import <appkit/Application.h>
#import <appkit/appkit.h>
#import "MyView.h"

void main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    id mv;
    id theWindow;
    NXRect aRect;

    NXApp = [Application new];
    [NXApp loadNibSection:"t.nib" owner:NXApp];

    NXSetRect(&aRect, 100.0, 350.0, 300.0, 300.0);
    theWindow = [Window newContent:&aRect         /* create Window */
                    style:NX_TITLEDSTYLE          /* object */
                    backing:NX_BUFFERED
                    buttonMask:NX_ALLBUTTONS
                    defer:NO];
    [theWindow setBackgroundGray:NX_WHITE];

    mv = [[MyView alloc] init];

    [theWindow setContentView: mv];

    [theWindow display];
    [theWindow orderFront:nil];
    [theWindow makeKeyWindow];

    [NXApp run];
    [NXApp free];
    exit(0);
}

This was slightly more successful in that I now get the mouseDown events, but
pressing a key just gives a miserable "boink."

Could anyone give me a clue to what's happening?
