1) I couldn't find a method that would allow me to just append text to the existing contents of the textview. Is there a way to do that?

I use moveToEndOfDocument: and then insertText: (both NSResponder methods) -- but it'll move the insertion point.

2) Is there an efficient way to use, say, a ring buffer of fixed length, or a fixed # of lines, and display that?

Not "out of the box". An NSTextView uses NSTextStorage to store the actual text, so it might be possible to hack this class, but I fear you'll be in for quite a lot of work, as a text storage also knows about layout managers...
