Hi,

Thanks for the help.

:-) When I looked around at the Gorm code I got an idea how it
worked (and why what I did worked). If even a dodgy perl hacker can
understand it it must be ready for world domination ;-)

Definitely in the wrong place :-) Just easier in the 10 mins I had to
put it there. I agree that would be the more elegant way to do this -
IB in MacOSX adds 'composite' things for convienience.

BTW initially I didn't put the tableview in a scrollview, but it was
never visible (same code, just added tableview to the window). Did I
do something wrong?

One ignorant question - er, how does NSBox work like that currently? I
can't get anything in an NSBox, only on top or below, never in the
content (as far as I can tell).

I've only looked into programming gnustep briefly, but it seems more
promising than kde and gnome. Keep up the good work.
