However, my very simplistic first try seems to be very frustrating. What I need is
a hint on how to have a NSTextField result in an action which takes the string
typed by the user, and placed in a regular 'char' variable for use in a set of
standard C functions.

You can try the cString function of the NSString object. It returns a const char * type.

myString = [myTextField stringValue];
myConstChar = [myString cString];

Well, one thing that did not seem obvious was how to refer to the InterfaceBuilder
placed TextField object. In your example you refer to the myTextField object,
but how does one make the reference to the IB created instance.

I did connect the text field object to an action, and I get to that action when
I type text and enter return, but at that point I don't have a good understanding
of what is the object's name to then extract the string (or converted integer
numbers next..)

Thanks
John Clark
