Douglas, and all the others who replied to me. Thanks very
much. Exactly what I was looking for. Fantastic. I'd looked at
NSLayoutmanager, but hadn't clicked that was what I was
looking for. Now I have a FM to R (and example code, to boot), I
can do this thing. Yay. Not too difficult, either[1]. I like a cocoa.
