Yes; the textStorage() method returns a textStorage object, which is
basically a kind of attributed string that you can modify.

That's what you use textStorage for -- you call textStorage() to get the
object, and then you call its length() method.

setString_ is a *text field* method, not a text view method. To add text to
a text view, you either use insertText_, or you get the textStorage object
and modify that.

Text views don't have a length method. You need to get the length of the
textStorage object.
