I have searched high and low and can find no reason for a subview to not 
display.  Is this a trivial problem not worthy of list comment or is it truly a 
difficult problem that cannot be dealt with as easily as more mundane topics 
found here?

Can you hear my cry for help ... this makes no sense ... 

Oh well, I guess I'll have to rewind and try another approach.  

Ah, ain't Cocoa a great, modern (85?) environment.
