I.S.,
I knew insertText: wouldn't remove the text. I just can't figure out
how to remove it all. And how do I select all of characters? That
would be my only problem with the
replaceCharactersInRange:withString:...
Thanks,
Jeremy

Why would you believe "insert" means anything but? If you read the
documentation on the text system, you'll get a better idea of where
to look for more answers.
You can ask the text view for its NSTextStorage (which is a
subclass of NSMutableAttributedString) and replace the contents with
-replaceCharactersInRange:withString: or -
replaceCharactersInRange:withAttributedString:
