That's what I noticed mostly from reading your source example app. I
started to try and hack "out" features so I could get it to the core
of just drawing a box so I can see the root code of what calls it up
and stuff. But thats where my lack of real cocoa comes into play atm.
And it not compiling :P

But I did not want to bother you on it per request message on your
website, and the fact that I just need to learn more still.
