At first, it was very difficult for me to find out _what_ the

header organization, and Help Viewer's deficiencies. Now, with the
new PB's class browser, that's very easy and it's what I first look
at.
The first thing in the docs on *every* class is a block like this:
NSRulerView
Inherits from:
NSView : NSResponder : NSObject
Conforms to:
NSCoding (NSResponder)
NSObject (NSObject)
Declared in:
AppKit/NSRulerView.h
Of course, but it took me a couple of weeks to notice that - and to
understand what "conforms to" et al. mean.
