When I try to set the text of one text object to be that of another text  
object (the subject line puts it simpler), I get all of the text but the  
linefeeds are missings, including the hard returns at the end of  
paragraphs.  Is there something obvious that I'm overlooking when trying  
to copy the text from one text object to another?  I hope that I'm not  
going to get stuck looking at theBreaks variable in the Text object and  
pulling each line out one by one.

-Mike

This isn't the approved way to do this.  Sadly, you've got to write the first  
Text object into a memory buffer, than read it out.

Try this:

	NXStream	*str = NXOpenMemory(0,0,NX_READWRITE);
	[text1		writeRichText:str];
	NXSeek(str,0L,NX_FROMSTART);
	[text2		readRichText:str];
	NXCloseMemory(str,NX_FREEBUFFER);

It's still quite zippy.
