[vtkusers] Mac debugging

[Eugene Kim]

Hi Chris,

  Right, I have seen the vtkCocoa---- files, and I know they are the ones
which interact directly with the C++ code.  What I can't determine is the
other side of the problem... what is interacting with these files?  Are
these files the ones which are directly communicating with Cocoa to draw
to the screen?

Thanks,
Eugene
