When you use instance_variable_set you are setting the variable
    inside the example group (the test) and not the actual controller
it self.

Ah ok - got it now.  Thanks for clearing that up !
Although it does leave me slightly confused as to what the object is that performs the test - i.e. who that instance variable belongs to (not that I need it now). I mean - unlike Test::Unit, there is no 'class AccountTest ' - I'll dig around and find out.

RSpec's DSL creates these classes and objects for you. You can think of 'describe' as an alias to 'class' in a way. (It is of course more complicated than that.)
