Rather than use the scrolling text palette object, try this:
Drag in a CustomView from the Views palette.  Change the class
of the CustomView to your CText subclass.  Then, choose
"Group in ScrollView" from the "Layout" menu.

If you set things up as above, this should be no problem.
Just select the ScrollView, then double-click your CText View.
"delegate" should appear in the Connections inspector.

I had no trouble with this.  Just be careful where you drag to.
As you control-drag into the ScrollView, first the ScrollView itself
will be highlighted; release here to connect to it.  If you continue
dragging, the Text object becomes highlighted.
