I'm trying to use IB to put together a real simple application, and I
seem to be having some trouble getting float values out of my
three-celled input form.

I'm using code more or less like

	X=[myForm floatValueAt:i]

where X is a float, myForm is the id of the Form object that I dragged
in from IB, and i is the integer index of the cell that i'm interested
in within the form. 

Does this look reasonable?  If it does, then how about the connections
I've established in IB:

The input form is connected to a button, which is connected to an object
that is a subclass of Object.  This object contains the method that
gathers the float values from the form, and then writes to an
outputForm.  The writing step works, but the result is bogus because the
reading step is not working.  

In fact, even  [myForm getNumRows:&r numCols:&c]
returns bogus values for ints ``r'' and ``c''.
Is this a related problem?

Thanks in advance for any hints or help!
