Alli,

Off hand I'm not sure of any sample code, but if you're using the 
Radio Group from Interface Builder, you'll want to look at the 
documentation for the NSMatrix class.

http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/Matrix/Matrix.html

In my code I typically set the "tag" values for each of the individual 
radio buttons within the NSMatrix instance, and then create an outlet 
in my controller like:

IBOutlet NSMatrix *myRadioGroup;

You can then get the text of the selected radio button using:

[[myRadioGroup selectedCell] title]

You can fetch a specific cell of the matrix using:

[myRadioGroup cellWithTag:3] // 3 is a tag value

You can programmatically select a specific cell using:

[myRadioGroup selectCellWithTag:3]

If that doesn't get you started or no one else has more sample code 
for you, contact me off list and I can probably come up with a quick 
code example for you.

Best regards,
Steven Huey
