There used to be a plethora of such tools for NeXTStep, none of which made
it to OSX -- so far as I know, of course!
Though, the *most excellent* of tools is still here and still works:
(i) find the app's PID (ps -aux | fgrep <appname>);
(ii) run gdb and use "attach PID";
(iii) do whatever you feel like -- [NSApplication sharedApplication] would
give you the current application object, which you can use to find menus,
windows, whatever...
Hmmm.... You might want to try Joy. I've kinda lost track of the
item because I need to look inside Carbon apps more than Cocoa apps.

Peace,
Bob
