Thanks Eric.
It makes sense, I suppose, that NSTextView wouldn't have an built-in
way to do this - it just acts as a 'sheet' of text over which you must
create a viewport in the form of a scroll view.
Actually, I've _literally_ just bumped into the reference below, while
writing this:
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/TextUILayer/Tasks/TextInScrollView.html
... previously I'd avoided trawling through the text system
documentation - probably because I didn't think I was _really_ doing
anything for which I wanted The Text System per se ;-)
I think I'm going to try programmatically popping the field editor
into an scroll view configured per this note and adding this whole kit
and caboodle to to my view hierarchy, rather than just the
NSTextView. Hopefully all the resizing will work as I need that.
Anyway, I'll report back...

You can check out the message:

for what I was concerned with.
As best I can determine, a NSTextView relies upon a NSScrollView to
handle it's scrolling behavior. Unfortunately, there does not appear
to be any way to place a fieldEditor inside of a NSScrollView in
order to provide this behavior - but I haven't had that confirmed by
anyone.
What I ended up doing is creating a NSTextView inside of a
NSScrollView on the fly and using that as my field editor.
Although, I suppose creating a NSTextField would have worked as
well...I may try switching to that as it would be less code.
