Maybe this is a dumb question, but I'd like to be able to access an array  
of id's (outlets) so that I can access the one of my choice depending on a  
selection made at run time....in this case I am presented a range of  
operations to perform on some data. These operations are listed in a  
PopUp. It would be easiest to use the index of the selected item to access  
an array element rather than a hard name like calc1, calc2, calc3...etc.
Am I missing something, or is this not a common type of problem?

Also, can a non-view object be palette'ized for use in IB? I'd like to be  
able to hook up one of the above calc objects using IB. ie. drag one off a  
palette into the .nib Objects well (instantiate) for graphical connection  
to other objects.

Thanks in advance.
