Thank you very much!   That was very easy!  

For grins and giggles I tried to build this... 

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
int main (int argc, const char * argv[])
{
        NSLog (@"hello world");
        return 0;
}

Then compile with this "clang -I/usr/local/include 
-I/usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Headers -L/usr/local/lib 
-L/usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Libraries -lgnustep-base -lobjc hello.m -o hello" 

When I run that stupid test it core dumps with "Version 2 Objective-C ABI may 
not be mixed with earlier versions."  


On the plus side, my cmdline app and my hello world window app that caused my 
original question now works!   

I did notice one issue where the static nstextfield was not centered but was 
right justified.  I will be happy to look into the issue if you can point me in 
the correct direction where to look.  


Thanks,
Alexandra
