TextEdit's source is all there for you to look at--it just uses 
standard NSTextViews.  It's difficult for us to tell without more 
information what settings you may have on your text views that might 
be different from what TextEdit is using, but you should be able to 
get the behavior of TextEdit in your application, if necessary by 
copying its code.
