[TxMt Plugins] ViPlugin - what is the sender for NSResponder::moveDown

[Rob Rix]

"nil" as the sender should work; it's _generally_ optional, being  
used mainly for connecting user interface elements together that  
might conceivably need to take some hints from the invoking element.  
If nil won't do it, self ought to.

Also, when you see things like below, with selectors not being  
recognized, it is possible that Allan hasn't overridden NSResponder's  
default implementation, which simply raises a "selector not  
recognized" exception. The other thing to note is that you're sending  
to OakWindow here; I'm not clear enough on the operation of the  
responder chain to say for sure, but you might want to send these  
messages not to the window instance but to the window's first responder:

	[[window firstResponder] moveDown: nil]; // or, as noted, "self" if  
nil doesn't work. But it ought to.
