building NSMatrix in IB: setting tags

Hi,

   I'm trying to create a matrix of NSComboBoxes in IB.  With an
NSTextField or an NSButton, I option-drag on a sizing handle to create
the matrix.  When I select the resulting matrix of controls and look at
the info panel, the Tags = Positions button is dimmed.  Each control
has a tag depending on its situation in the array (0, 1, 2, etc). 
But-- if I try to do exactly the same thing with an NSComboBox, the
Tags = Positions button is dimmed, but the comboBoxes' tags are *not*
set by position.  They are all 0.  What's more, if I change the tag of
any comboBox in this matrix, the tags of every comboBox change to that
number.  I do not have "Match Prototype" selected-- but shouldn't one
be able to set different tags for different boxes even if they are
following the same prototype?  what am I missing?
   Also, if I try to option-drag on an NSPopUpButton to create a matrix,
no matrix is created. I'm searching the docs but I don't understand why
matrices of comboBoxes or PopUpBottons should be so different...  any
clues?  Can anyone else replicate this?  thanks

Carrie
