I want to create a window "on the fly", rather than relying on
Interface Builder. Is there a reference describing what functions are
available (using Objective-C, in particular) for creating windows and
various types of view?


Unless you have a good reason to, I'd avoid it. Creating windows and
views are just a case of allocating them and using the designated
initialiser (initWithContentRect:styleMask:backing:defer: for
NSWindow, initWithFrame: for NSView), then constructing a view
heirarchy (setContentView: on NSWindow, then addSubview: etc) and
setting all the relevant other flags for your controls/views. See the
reference manual for more information.

But it's really probably not what you want to do in most cases - a
much easier methodology most of the time is to construct template
views in Interface Builder and create copies at runtime, adjusting
them as necessary.
