Loading it isn't too big a deal - biggest case is around 300k. I'm just concerned about moving the data around between the NSString and the NSTextView. I guess you can blame it on my starting out hand coding Z80 assembler in the 80's:-)

I have a NSTextView object which I want to load with the ASCII text
from a disk file. What's the recommended way to do this? Is it a case
of loading text into an NSString then setting the text

What you see in an NSTextView *is* an NSString so there's no way to avoid
stringification of your text. If the problem is that the text is huge and
you don't want to load it in all at once, NSData lets you read the file
"mapped", meaning basically that whatever you don't need stays on disk. m.
