That works. I did not use the selectedObjects before because my 
understanding was that was for detail controllers of detail views.

It is passed wrapped in a one-element NSArray, and I can extract the 
dictionary with objectAtIndex:0.

Thanks ever so much - two days struggling with this. I was literally 
starting to write to dts and burn one of my Tech Support Incidents 
when I saw your reply.
