I'm attempting to write an application on a NeXT using IB and am stuck. I want to display a block of text, information like name, address, etc., and can't figure out how to do it. I can display one string at a time in a form, but I need to display several lines, probably in a scrollview, so that the user can cut&paste them to another window. It seems like a simple and straightforward thing to do, but I can't find a method anywhere that does what I want. I realize that this isn't a very technical description, but any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. The NeXT is really fun to work on, I just haven't got the hang of IB and Obj.-C yet, I guess.
