that's exactly what i'm trying to do (thank you for the clarification). 
i'm not sure about when apple added this kind of functionality (as i'm 
under the impression it was not available on NeXT systems), but for the 
purposes of "view swapping" it's great. i mean, i could create an off 
screen panel to have a place to temporarily store the view, but it seems 
like a waste of resources (does anyone know how much system resources an 
NSPanel / NSWindow uses when off screen?).
