ok, i guess these are two newbie questions.

For NSPoint - how do you code one? Where is the method to produce them?

for NSString, if a method takes an NSString argument, can you enter a literal "test" instead of a reference to an object?

In ObjC, NSPoint is a simple C structure.

NSPoint aPoint;

aPoint.x = 4.0;
aPoint.y = 5.0;

or

NSPoint aPoint = {4.0, 5.0};

or

aPoint = NSMakePoint(6.0, 5.0);


As for NSString, "test" is a literal c-string, and @"test" (adding the @ character in front) is a literal NSString.

NSPoint is indeed just a standard C structure. However, you should use the supplied functions to create and manipulate points where possible. The NSPoint functions are discussed in (brace yourself)
