This is great, I changed the line that said:
myNotes = [theNotes stringValue];
to:
myNotes = [theNotes string];
And it worked.
I am not sure where abouts in the class reference for NSTextView it
states that you should pass it a -string rather than a -stringValue
but it worked all the same.
Brilliant
Thanks again
Paul
