I am using Objective-C in the NeXT, and I'm learning as I go. I have a simple
question which I hope many of you have run into. I have been trying to define
an "internal" function (ie, not declared in the interface file) inside the
implementation file for a class. In this function I access an instance variable.
The message I get is that the instace variable has not been declared. Thus, it
seems that the scope of instance variables is limited to the body of the
methods. Is there a way to access instance variable in the implementation file?
In general, what is the scope of instance variables in the implementation file?

Thanks
