Thanks, I was afraid of that. It seems that the inputReturnKey doesn't 
fire in a multiline either. And besides that, I can only get one-line 
inputs to display as transparent and multiline to display as opaque. 
Setting the opaque in either case does nothing.

The docs indicate that opacity can be controlled, but nothing I've tried 
does it. I fiddled with the alpha setting too but that doesn't seem to 
work either (tried both 0 and 255 because I can never remember which way 
the scale goes.)

What I really want to avoid is setting up and maintaining a "Done" and 
"Cancel" button in a fake toolbar in a group that's a simulated window, 
and all that other jazz that has to be created in both retina and normal 
sizes, and writing all the resizing code, etc. I just need a simple 
field overlay where a user can jot down a note.
