Re: TextFieldCell, editWithFrame:inView:editor:delegate:self

[Yen-Ju Chen]

 Toolbox support in-place editing in NSBrowser,
 and I forgot where I got it from, probably from GWorkspace.
 If you are interested, you can check the source code 
(http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/toolbox/toolbox/),
 and ExtendedBrowser and ExtendedMatrix are all it need.

 Hope it help.
