....obviously it's going to take more than sending a message from a non-member function because the OnFileNew base class function is PROTECTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You're taking this a little too seriously. So, it was protected. Override it or send a message. What's the big deal? The point remains that OnFileNew is an app function, not a view function, and that maintaining a global pointer to a view wasn't a particularly good solution to the problem. Don't take it so personally.
