When looking at the Sketch example (Developer/Examples/AppKit/), I see
a call to NSLocalizedStringFromTable(@"Set Bounds", @"UndoStrings",
@"Action name for numerically setting bounds.").  I know that
"UndoStrings" is usually a string file, but I don't see such a file
name (no "UndoStrings.strings)".  How do I locate this table?  I tried
using XCode (1.5)'s "Find in project" to look for both "Set Bounds" and
"UndoStrings" and I see all of the calls to the
NSLocalizedStringFromTable API, but no string file.   I see the undo
text, so the call's working.

The call is working because it returns its first argument if the lookup fails. Really it's just a wrapper around a message-send to NSBundle, with the (intentional) side-effect that the genstrings tool will create the strings file if you pass the source through it.
