I've searched through all the WO Apple docs (spotlight on Leopard
truly rocks!) to find a good explanation of the use of the caret "^"
character in bindings in custom WOComponent .wod files and couldn't
find any (except in a a couple of EO docs). It's mentioned in
passing in the "WOComponent HTML File Format" reference but not in
the "WOComponent Bundle Format" reference. In the HTML file format
file they also mention prefixing key binding with a ? in the .wod
file but I could not find a detailed explanation for this either.
The only place I could find documentation about the use of the "^"
was in some of the WO books.
Did I really missed it or such a basic piece of information is
actually missing from the docs?
Carat syntax is discussed at the bottom of the page <http://developer.apple.com/documentation/LegacyTechnologies/WebObjects/WebObjects_4.5/System/Documentation/Developer/WebObjects/DevGuide/ReusableComponents5.html

was written during the WO 4.5 timeframe when WO licenses were being
sold for tens of thousands of dollars (maybe there's a correlation
between license cost and documentation quality).

If you can't find the WO documentation that you need on your internal
disk, search Apple Developer Connection's Reference Library as well.
WO documentation is in the Internet & Web and Tools categories with
past documentation preserved at < http://developer.apple.com/referencelibrary/LegacyTechnologies/
>.
