Gang,
I tried mailing directly to Adam Glass at MIT, but the mail didn't go
through. Given possible relevance to others, I'm reposting here.

Adam,
Concerning the newContent::::: call, the compiler error is correct.
Since you are not supplying values to the various arguments to the call
(even if NULL), it assumes that the tokens "style", "type" and "mask"
are actual values, instead of parameter names. Also, is "myRect" a pointer
to an NXRect, or an NXRect itself? Final note: the argument name is
"buttonMask", not "mask."
The call probably should be:
[Window newContent:&myRect
style:(some_integer_style)
backing:(some_integer_buffering_type)
buttonMask:(some_integer_buttonMask)
defer:(some_BOOL_flag)]
(no parentheses are needed.)
All of this is documented in the 0.9 reference manual for the Window class.
Cheers,
