For IB 2.1 (10.1 tools), we searched through cocoa-dev, omni-dev and our
own internal lists to populate the FAQ which now comes with IB. I think
we've done a pretty good job of covering the tricky bits, but you do
have to read it (not that you could have in this case). For example:
How do I put widgets inside a scroll view?
Select the widget(s) and use the menu item Layout:Group In:Scroll View.
If only one item is selected, IB will attempt to make it the
NSScrollView's document view. If more than one widget is selected, they
will be enclosed in an NSView and that will be made the document view.
How do I put widgets inside a split view?
Select the widget(s) and use the menu item Layout:Group In:Scroll View.
If the widgets are arranged in a right to left fashion, the split will
be vertical. Conversely, if they are arranged from top to bottom the
split will be horizontal.
Scott.

confusing given the way NSScrollView operates. The problem is that
you're
taught to use the IB View palette to place just about any kind of view
in a
window, but NSScrollView is a rather odd exception because of the way
it
operates. This makes sense once you know about it, but when learning
it
can be very frustrating.
IIRC this was a big stumbling block for me, too. It's just not obvious.
Please at least give it a prominent place in the release notes.
