setDelegate: 

- (void) setDelegate: (id)delegate;
Availability: OpenStep

Set the delegate (adds it as an observer for text storage notifications) and removes any old value (removes it as an observer).
The delegate is not retained.

string 

- (NSString*) string;
Availability: OpenStep

Returns the string data stored by the receiver.
For performance reasons (and OSX compatibility) this is actually a proxy to the internal representation of the string.
This proxy provides an immutable string interface, but you must be aware that the underlying information may be modified by the receiver at any point, so if you need a consistent/fixed snapshot of the data (or if you are going to pass the string to other code which expects to be working with a constant string), you should copy the object returned by this method rather than simply retaining it.
