Other than the Text attributes one can set in IB's ScrollView
Inspector, what about the normally-provided Text object differs
from what I'd get from one of Text's new methods?

I want to replace the docView with a Text subclass.  There are
some things I can't do with a delegate, and IB doesn't let me
specify the class of the docView (grr).

(Yes, I have read the section in Chapter 9, and I'm not convinced
its example is totally on the level.  However, the Yap example
does something very similar to what I want...  I guess my
question is really one of documentation, or lack thereof, and
unwillingness to brute-force the answer if someone out there
already knows.)

Next dumb question: am I better off freeing the Text and newing :-)
a replacement (as Yap does), or avoiding IB's ScrollView
altogether in favor of a ScrollView-flavored CustomView?
