Before anything else, here's how to use the IBpalette included with the source for ConnectorView. Load the palette into Interface Builder and drag a ConnectorView into any window. Inspect the ConnectorView and set how wide you want the connection to be. (Be sure to click "OK" in the inspector window. I alway forget to do this.) Flip into test mode and mouseDown in that view while holding down the Control key. You will drag a connection out. If you drag a connection between two of these views, and drop it into the receiving view, you will get a neat dialog box. That's all there is to it. Not really useful for doing any real work, but subclasses of this could be EXTREMELY useful. In that sense, this is almost an abstract superclass. (Hey, wow, I used one of those neat object-oriented terms!!!)
