Thanks Shawn. I'm an iOS newb, so I realize I shouldn't try to force things to work "my" way, to "fight the framework". For the first go, I've taken Luke's advice and used a single view controller for now. This approach has the redeeming quality that it works! Once I get all the requirements implemented in my initial release, I'll have a better understanding of the dynamics of iOS and can then go back and refactor/rearchitect things to make it more elegant. It's an iterative learning process, quite fun actually!
