Hi Mark - the big flaw in your line of thinking here is in assuming that the "description" method is useful for programmatic endeavors. In the documentation, it's pretty clearly identified as a "debugging" method, only. I think the fact that Cocoa Bindings seems to default to this method as a value content provider sort of does a disservice to keeping this line drawn firmly in the sand.

I see there is a - (NSString *)description that converts the NSDictionary into a string; however, is there a way of taking that string and creating a dictionary from it? I didn't see any init methods like this. I'd like to send a dictionary to a thread (or across a network) and recieve a dictionary in return?

Thanks!

Mark
