My test case that did *not* use UIL set and retrieved labels
correctly, but a similar test case using a push button widget created
with UIL returned the null label string.  So, is there a solution to
this?  I really need to get at those label values.  This is my first
time using UIL, so perhaps I'm doing something wrong?  I can set the
labels from within my code, but can't retrieve them.

thanks for any and all assistance,
carol
