Douglas,
Great reply, thank you....
I noticed that as I had been learning this stuff, and creating small projects,
in some places I had used {getter, setter} = {string, setString}
[textView setString:@"Welcome"];
NSString *myString = [textView string];
but I noticed I had used this at one point, and thought it was acceptable ?
[textView insertText:myString];
Thank you so much for the great clarification ...
Best,
