Fair enough. :-) I was mostly wondering if it was due to some deep  
philosophical difference with Apple's NSTextView approach. I was also  
sort of hoping that Tiger's AppKit would make it easier since I  
wasn't at WWDC 2003 either (or any WWDC for that matter). It doesn't  
look like thats going to be the case from an initial survey of AppKit  
changes.
