RE: Emptying an NSTextView

What you want is [[yourTextView textStorage]
setAttributedString:yourEmptyAttributedString].  Text views have text
storage objects to keep track of their text.  A text storage object is a
subclass of NSMutableAttributedString.

Check out the programming topic on the text system architecture.
