I have an NSTextView where I write out progress message and errors, et

insertion point of this view, so I initially unchecked the Editable
attribute in IB. But, that prevented me from adding text to it
*programmatically*, so I *had* to turn the Editable bit on. Is there
something else I'm missing, or do I need to wrap my programs
-insertText: with -setEditable:YES|NO calls? That would still allow
the user to *scroll* this view, right?
As I was just saying yesterday, insertText: is intended as the funnel
point for user typing, and is unlikely to be suitable for any other
purpose. Try a different API; for programmatic changes it is often
appropriate to work directly with the text storage.
