Inside the MainMenu.xib I deleted the default Main Menu that automatically gives you the application menu (along with the File/Edit/Format/View/Window/Help menus).
What are the steps I need to take to add this back into my application?

I would create a new application then copy just the Main Menu back into your MainMenu.xib

Thanks, this worked. I'd still like to understand the 'magic' that relates this Menu to the application as it's main menu.

@zadam: There's no magic. It's just a complete main menu that Apple created for you and supplied in the nib in each application template. That menu is the main menu because the application's
mainMenu outlet is hooked up to it.zadam
- Peter: where is the application's mainMenu outlet hooked up to it?
Peter Hosey
@zadam: In the MainMenu nib, where the main menu resides and the application is the File's Owner. Right-click on the main menu and you should see the application's
mainMenu as a referencing outlet.

@PeterHosey I expected this to be the case, but no "mainMenu" outlet appears in Interface Builder for either File's Owner or the Application instance. Only delegate and dockMenu appear.
