Maybe somebody can clarify something for me.  In the Text reference, the
description for getMinWidth:minHeight:maxWidth:maxHeight says that 
this method will calculate the minimum width and height needed to contain
the text.  I interperet that as being the rect that will contain the
text in the Text view.  For example if I have a Text view with a size
of 500 x 500 and it is half full of text (top to bottow), I would
expect the getMinWidth: method to report a minimum width of 500 (assuming
the text goes all the way across the view) but a height of 250 since
text only goes halfway down the view.  What it is doing is reporting
a width and height of 500.  This seems kind of sense less because
I can get that information from the bounds of the view. 

Am I confused or is this not acting properly?  I'm running 3.0 PR2 and
don't have any 2.X machines left so if somebody could verify this on
a 2.0 machin, that would be great.

Gosh, I'd call NeXT Developer support, but I can't afford it! ;)
