However, in this case, I came across the use of loading-file-source-file in what is meant to be a minimal example of a CL cocoa app. I am left wondering how I would know when, why and how to use such a function. Without some external documentation it looks like a magic incantation that would not spontaneously occur to me.</div><div><br></div><div>Not that I'm against a little magic now and then ;-)</div><div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div><br></div><div>- Phil -</div></body></html>
