Apology accepted.
Cristopher Corbell's "Re: accessing view in a nib" is an excellent answer
to the question. Thanks for pointing it out. When I made my original
posting, I didn't know what keywords would get what I wanted.
I had heard that using multiple nibs was useful for reducing load time. It
looks like there may be other rewards.
I hope publiclook will be kind enough to tell us more about the forum from
which this response was quoted. It sure looks like it would be useful.
