These are C++ class objects that I need to look at.
The Globals Browser has tons of libraries, the last one being the
application, but no variables are displayed.

Okay, what the hell is going on here?  I've got a project to which I
would like to add a header file.  But XCode won't let me add it.  Add
Current File to Project is greyed out and if I try to add it with Add
to Project the file is greyed out in the file dialog.

After using CodeWarrior for years, I have finally been forced to make
the inevitable switch to XCode. I will spare everyone the gory details
but let it suffice to say that I almost threw up my hands in frustration
and simply gave up. This was not really an option so after putting it

   yesterday morning, I was looking at Apple's docs regarding the strings
that should be put in the info.plist file for bundles, and found the entry
for CFBundleGetInfoString.  It contained a note that the string used to
contain the version number (as well as company and ...

If a document is saved with AskDesignateFile() and the user chose to
replace the file with one of the same name, the contained panes inside
the documents view won't get activated afterwards. Is this a bug in
Navigation Services or does a workaround in PowerPlant exists?
