How do I view the Outlets in MainMenu.nib ?

Barking at the moon.
I'm a complete newb to programming, but I've got a couple good ideas for small apps that I would like, so I'm gonna go for the gold and attempt to write them myself! (That's kind of a warning in advance, since I will probably be asking a LOT of moronic questions in here over the next couple of months while I get my feet wet.)

I am working in the Interface Builder and looking at the MainMenu.nib window. However, I cannot see the 'plugs' that I'm supposed to tweak. Can someone explain to me how to show these plugs?

I've attached a pic of it is supposed to look like, mine is about the same but w/o the plugs on the right side.

Thanks for your help!

That looks like the old interface - the new one came with the Dec 2001 developer tools update. I really like the new interface better (it would answer your question instantly... but I digress)

Okay, to add outlets and actions, there's two things you can do (if I remember correctly):
1) Right Click (or control click, or control-hold) your mouse over outlet or action, and when the contextual menu pops down, it should give you the option to add one
2) I think if you just hit return after highlight action or outlet, it should create a generaically named one for you.
