Thank-you for your direct, concise and helpful answer.
I consider it a model answer in the listserve paradigm: direct,
clear, including links for followup and further clarity and actually
answering the posted question!
Sleep well tonight - you've burnished up your karma.
Thanks Again,
Steve

know how to ask the right question you will never find the right

looking for.
The question you want to ask has to do with First Responder, so I
would recommend reading up on that. In addition to being a
generally fascinating topic, being knowledgeable in it will pay
great dividends when debugging obscure behavior in the future.
Also of general responder interest (though maybe not to you if
you're using NSTextViews?) is the field editors. It inserts itself
into the responder chain and causes general confusion to new users
of the cocoa text system. I don't think NSTextViews, being full-
blown "heavy" text objects in and of themselves, use a field
editor... but again, it's something worth knowing.
This will send a -resignFirstResponder to the current first
responder (in this case, your text view) causing it to commit its
changes. After that, the value should be what you expect it to be.
Cheers!
