Thanks for your reply.  So let me ask a few specific questions to 
clarify my understanding of Ruby.


class UserCommentsController < ApplicationController
  def new
    @usercomment = UserComment.new

    respond_to do |format|
      format.html # new.html.erb
      format.xml  { render :xml => @usercomment }
    end
  end
....

I would have thought, given that this was scaffolding, that 
UserComment.new allocated the space for the UserComment, assigned the 
values to nil, and that the view would render them as empty data.  What 
IS this really doing?  I assumed it passes the usercomment to one of to 
format methods that are internal to Ruby on Rails.  Thanks again!
