It is loaded automatically (when you load the bundle), provided that
it is in the correct location. If info.plist is not loaded the
application will not start.

the info.plist declarations are correct.

If I understood correctly you are trying to build a document based
application where you will to be able to load and manage .dot file.

You should look at the Sketch example (it is a document-based cocoa
app) to try to understand how to subclass correctly your document
class and your documentcontroller class. Look also at the doc (of
course):

At this stage, the log files (Console app is your friend) can help you
