I tried it out and it works (sort of).  I found that I had to disable the  
ButtonCell so I would not get a "Text does not recognize sendAction:to:"  
message.  I also noticed that some text around the ButtonCell turned grey  
when I scroll the text (odd).  But it does work.

I also noticed that V3.0 has a readRTFD: method for the Text object  
(doesn't much help with 2.X though)

thanks!
