Thanks.

It would seem that my first problem is I'm not looking at the right
documentation.  NSDictionary in the GNUstep base class reference: 

http://www.gnustep.org/resources/documentation/Developer/Base/Reference/Base.html

Has no indication of it being a cluster, nor of the methods a subclass must
implement. Only the designated initialization method is indicated.

Is there a canonical source of reference documentation 
I should be looking at instead?
