Re: NSString uppercaseString

Uli, As Matt also points out, the documentation is not always crystal- clear, so I was simply trying to answer Sam's specific question. Since not all APIs behave the same way I added the link to the "Memory Management Programming Guide for Cocoa" page, hoping to help Sam. In any case, it w
