Try looking in the reference documentation for the class itself.

For example, to find out what the "One shot" attribute is for an
NSWindow, look in
<http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/ApplicationKit/ObjC_classic/Classes/NSWindow.html>
for "setOneShot:"

Thanks Peter...I've done this a few times with fairly good success, but
sometimes it is very slow going. I was hoping for some type of "IB User
Guide" that goes through the GUI options.

Heh, maybe I will, but that means I will have to understand it first...
