It *would* be nice (if nothing else but for our curiosity) to know
what you're trying to accomplish, Jonathan. It seems Cocoa does The
Right Thing, but this *is* system-wide, so are you sure this is
really what you want to do? IE, isn't it better to let the user
change this setting by the usual means (System Preferences)?

Agreed, your answer to his question was good. But I was wondering
_why_
the OP wants to read that particular setting. I mean, it is a setting
that changes the behaviour of scroll bars system wide. So either the
system has to handle this for us, or each and every application has to
do something to support this option.
I assumed that since TextEdit.app responds to changing this option in
Sys Prefs that Cocoa just did the right thing. I just tried
popping an
NSTextView in a NIB and it seems that this is the case.

Not to my knowledge (though I could very well be wrong). I don't
believe this is what the OP was referring to. You can control -
setVerticalLineScroll and -setVerticalPageScroll if that's what
you're thinking about.
The OP asked for the storage location of the System Prefs option,
however, so it was in answer to that. Overriding that setting on a
per-app basis (if it's possible) wouldn't be very kind to the
user. ;-)

But doesn't the Cocoa text system handle that setting automatically?
TextEdit.app does at least.
