The GEOS document control objects let the programmer ignore most of the details of opening, closing, and saving files. The programmer just specifies the characteristics the application will expect of its documents. The document control presents all dialog boxes and notices to the user, and it maintains the "Save," "Save As," "Open," "New," and "Revert" triggers in the File menu.

There are three parts to the document control: the GenDocumentControl object, which maintains the user interface; the GenDocuments, each of which manages a single document; and the GenDocumentGroup object, which creates and manages GenDocument objects as needed. These classes can all be subclassed to add functionality.
