Do you mean something like:
[textView setString: @"Hello World"];
You can also use something like:
[NSString *text = [textView string];
[textView setString: [text stringByAppendingString: @"Hello World"]];
That would append Hello World on to the current text in the view. That
could be really slow if you have a largish amount of text in the view.
I suggest looking in the docs. There are methods like [textView
replaceCharactersInRange:] and stuff that should be much faster.

Hello all,
is there a simple way to implement the following action
(say, a method in a subclass of NSTextView) :
-(void)writeOut: (NSString*) s;
which makes the text view change (along with all
the data associated with it, such as the text conatiner
and the layout manager) exactly as if the user had
typed the string s on the keyboard ?
