It's the Workspace talking to itself, I think; no need to worry about it.

This is most easily done by using one of the ScrollingText objects
from Interface Builder. Make it the outlet of some object, and,
on initialization of that outlet, you can set the text in the
ScrollView with a simple:

	[[anObject docView] setText:"Hello World."];

Or, you can use readText:, or, even better yet, readRichText:.
In some cases you might have to recalculate the frame of the Text object
with a call to getMinWidth:...; see the ScrollingText class in the Yap sources
on how to do this.

>7) Why did lint go away ?
With an ANSI compiler, you probably won't need it.
