Open MainMenu.nib in IB, click once on (say) the File menu to open 
it, once on (say) the New item to select it, and press the delete key.

In your application delegate, implement the application:openFile: 
method. From the application parameter, get the current event and 
check for the option key ('NSAlternateKeyMask'). eg:

- (BOOL)application:(NSApplication *)theApplication 
openFile:(NSString *)filename {
     if (([[anApplication currentEvent] modifierFlags] & 
NSAlternateKeyMask) == 0) {
         // might also check for whether app is launching if that's important

         // handle file open here
         // ...
     }
     return YES;
}

Warning, I just typed this into my mailer. There's more info in a 
cocoa-dev thread starting here:
