How about @text_view.setString("foo") or as @text_view.string = "foo" ?

Y'know what, that doesn't seem to work actually. No '<<' method, and setCharacters/setWords works, but nothing shows up.

:textview is linked to an NSTextView object via InterfaceBuilder. Now the purpose of this view is to work as the display for text coming from a MUD (Multi-user domain/dungeon). I have it set to noneditable but selectable. My above code doesn't work. I allow it to be editable, and the code does work. Is there a way to prevent user-editing but to allow my code to edit it?

Extract from Apple's Objective-C insertText: documentation:
This method is the entry point for inserting text typed by the user and is generally not suitable for other purposes. Programmatic modification of the text is best done by operating on the text storage directly. Because this method pertains to the actions of the user, the text view must be editable for the insertion to work.

You can do for instance
@text_view.textStorage << 'my text'
But be careful, text inserted like this ignores the current font attributes of the text view. You have to add them yourself.
