Salut Eric. I'm sure that there are some who will be able to better explain it than myself but, to make a long story short, when you call loadNIbNamed:, the method will connect all the instance variables of the "owner" that you have declared to be IB outlets with the UI objects that you did create in IB, after they are instantiated. How does the method do that? If they are no setter for a particular ivar, it will just set the ivar directly. This is also probably explained in the documentation.
