I've been using a method I haven't seen here yet so I'll pass it on. I
dragged the AppKit and Foundation toc's to the Dock. Clicking these
will give a complete hyper-list of the classes for Foundation or AppKit.
Open the class you are interested in and its documentation appears. This
class documentation usually has a hyperlink to background material on
that class. You can wind up with a lot of open files but finding what
you need is pretty easy.
The toc's are pretty deep on the disk so here are the urls -
file://localhost/System/Library/Frameworks/AppKit.framework/Versions/C/Resources/English.lproj/
Documentation/Reference/ObjC_classic/AppKitTOC.html
file://localhost/System/Library/Frameworks/Foundation.framework/Versions/C/Resources/English.lproj/
Documentation/Reference/ObjC_classic/FoundationTOC.html
These are not the header files. The header files and files with structs
such as NSRect, NSPoint are found very quickly with the PB Find
function. hth
Structs like NSRect, NSPoint will not be there, apparently only classes.
The PB Find capability will get these very quickly.

I was looking for that document earlier today. I opened Mozilla,
typed "adc NSRect", and it was the second result.
Try searching the ADC website. It's powered by Google, so it provides
relevant results now, and if you have a browser that does shortcuts
(OmniWeb) or keywords (Mozilla), take advantage of it.

Yea that got me too, I was working with window sizes and I was like
ok I got an NSRect, now what? It's not a class so it must be a
structure, but where is it documented. I had to do a search on google
to learn about it. Later I found it is documented under foundation
types and constants.
