Hello, List!

I'm learning Xcode/IB/Objective C/Cocoa on Leopard. I've done C, Perl, Java, etc. mostly on Linux, but the last time I wrote a Mac program it was to copy the ROM of a FatMac to put it into an upgraded 128.

I have a few questions. I gather from lurking on this list for a while that the OT Nazis are active here, but that I'm allowed one OT post. This is it :-)


What happened to the MIDI synth? As best I can tell, it's been entirely deprecated as of 10.5. Are replacement functions coming? Should I go ahead and use the deprecated ones? Or is it on it's way out? And if it's been EOLed, what to do for beeps and burbles? (I need a whole lot of them, real fast (my program is for blind people) -- I don't have time to read sound files off a disk, and I want to set pitch and timbre programmatically)


Is there a way to programmatically position the mouse cursor from a Cocoa class, or do I need to reach down to Quartz for this? And if I do, is there an easy way to translate between coordinate systems?

Is it better to launch things in the /Applications folder with an Applescript or to use the NSTask class (or is there a better way)?

Am I correct in thinking there is a mouse event for every click? If so, how do you tell there's been a double-click before starting action on a single-click? Set a timer?
