For example, in one interface I have a large NSTextView that will act
something like a scrolling console with messages added to the bottom

my controller class and correctly displaying the strings, but I need
to access the NSScrollView (more specifically the NSClipView) of the
NSTextView so that I can tell it to scroll down when new lines are
added to the console.
If I just put an instance of an NSScrollView in my controller class,
can I somehow reference the NSScrollView from the IBOutlet NSTextView
object? Can I instantiate an NSScrollView in Interface Builder and
somehow connect it to the NSScrollView that comes with the NSTextView?
Should I just try and create, place and draw the whole NSScrollView
and TextView programatically? Should I create a spicific NSScrollView
in Interface Builder and place a NSTextView inside it, or will this
make an NSTextView in an NSScrollView in an other NSScrollView?
When you drag out a text view in IB, what you actually get is a text
view in a scroll view. Depending on where you control-drag to, you can
connect an outlet to either one, or separate outlets to both. I would
suggest connecting an outlet to your text view, and asking it for its
enclosingScrollView when needed.
