Subject: how to get class info from a celview?

Hi.  I'm having a bit of a problem accessing class information from new
menu items added to a celview.  Perhaps someone else knows the solution
to the problem I'm seeing?

I've defined an object using ADEW (arb, createcon, etc).   It's an lset with
a stringV in the top part and and a text-panel combination in the bottom.
I've set the menulist for one of the subviews (the StringV) via:

testlistMenus = menulist_New();
bind_BindList(testlistBindings, NULL, testlistMenus, viewtype);

if ( (cv = celview_GetCelviewFromView(self->titleView)) != NULL) {
        celview_SetMenulist(cv, testlistMenus);
        celview_Repost(cv);
}

All OK so far.  The new menus show up when I hit the middle button. 
(Curiously,
if I pick the panel view, they don't show up).  Now comes the problem.
When the routines connected to the menu items get called, they are called
with a celview pointer.   However, what I want to access from those
menu routines is the class data for the class I've defined with ADEW.
(called testlist in my case).  Can I get there from here?

Thanks very much,
