+This is actually a bug with all the APPKIT_EXTERN types
+ref: http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/ApplicationKit/
+ObjC_classic/Functions/AppKitFunctions.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/20000695/BAJCBDII
+
+We're going to need to bind these seperately into a AppKitExtern class or something like 
+that;
+
+the parsing isn't difficult (stub the methods; take in a string construct a nsstring and 
+compile return the result) the question is where should these live
+
+Apple.AppKit.AppKitExterns?
+which would mean 
+AppKitExtern.NSRunAlertPanel?
+
+urs; thoughts on the naming issue?

+(FOR EXAMPLE:)
+using System;
+using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
+using Apple.Foundation;
+
+namespace Apple.AppKit {
+
+        public class AppKitExtern {
+
+                [DllImport("/System/Library/Frameworks/AppKit.Framework/AppKit", 
+EntryPoint="NSRunAlertPanel")]
+                protected static extern int extern_NSRunAlertPanel(IntPtr title, IntPtr msg, IntPtr 
+btn1, IntPtr btn2, IntPtr btn3);
+
+                public static int NSRunAlertPanel(string _title, string _msg, string _btn1, string 
+_btn2, string _btn3) {
+                        NSString title = new NSString(_title);
+                        NSString msg = new NSString(_msg);
+                        NSString btn1 = new NSString(_btn1);
+                        NSString btn2 = new NSString(_btn2);
+                        NSString btn3 = new NSString(_btn3);
+                        return extern_NSRunAlertPanel(title.Raw, msg.Raw, btn1.Raw, btn2.Raw, 
+btn3.Raw);
+                }
+
+        }
+}
+
+This class added to AppKit can call a NSRunAlertPanel like so:
+                        AppKitExtern.NSRunAlertPanel("Title", "Message", "B1", "B2", "B3");
