Note also that if you have a UI control that doesn't have a textDelegate (like  
a DBImageView, or a switch with a custom connection) you should make the module  
that control's target, sending the "takeValueFrom:" method.

Note also that Text objects are 'magic' in that you don't have to set either  
their delegate or their target to get them to propogate changes.  This is  
because Text objects have neither targets nor delegates.
