Duh... get used to RTFM all they way up the inheritance chain, Jacob...

Anyway, in case anybody else is waiting for the answer:

	PopUpList inherits from Matrix method 'itemList', which returns
	the matrix.  So, what I was looking for was:

		[[thePopUpList itemList] selectCellAt:itemNumber:0]

Now, if I could only figure out why doing the selectCellAt:: has no effect
on the appearance of the pop-up list...
