I guess I didn't mean "controls" exclusively; I should have stuck with 
"views", as (at least) one of the things I need to create is an NSBox 
that contains multiple controls.  Which is why I was looking in NSView 
for the right call.  But yeah, that'll work for the majority of things 
I need to create.

And now that I think about it....I don't really need (nor want) for 
the box to have a border, so perhaps I can manipulate it just 
encompass the sized-to-fit controls in it.  But still, is there no 
such beast for NSViews?

While I'm at it...is there no way to create an NSMatrix of 
NSPopupButtons?  I can't seem to manage it in IB, and I'm not yet at 
the point to try it in my code.
