Sorry, object it's associated with, do you mean string object such as
text in a row or something else?  If iter is a pointer to the row can't
I just get the row string like:
	string s = mytree.getRow(iter);

wouldn't that sort of make sense?

mytreeview.Selection.GetSelected (out model, ref iter);

The "out" and "ref" are keywords right?  I'm not familiar with them,
more reading:-)  Doesn't GetSelected return a boolean?  It seems then
that "ref" would work something like &iter in C, is that correct?
