This worked so thanks, but did have the side effect of making the  
single click action fail.  I think this was because I was setting it  
up using

	@tableView.on_action do
		NSLog "got table action via on_action..."
	end

which seems to add the action method to a proxy object and behind the  
scenes sets target to the proxy object.

Easily fixed by
	@tableView.target = self
	@tableView.doubleAction = 'double:'
	@tableView.action = 'single:'

and
	def double (sender)
	end

	def single (sender)
	end

In actual fact I was also using the tableViewSelectionDidChange   
delegate so was finding out about single clicks twice.

I haven't had any problems using delegate methods. For example I do:

	@tableView.delegate = self

and define a delegate method:

	def tableView (table, shouldEditTableColumn: c, row: r)
		false
	end

as you get told which tableView is 'calling' you you can use this to  
do table specific actions if one object is acting as a delegate for  
two tableViews.  More commonly the tableView is looked after by its  
own instance object so the setting of the delegate of the tableView  
will be unique for the different tableViews.

If you don't get the delegate's method signature correct they it will  
look like the delegate isn't working.

I don't believe so.

Use two objects - one per tableView - to customise the delegated  
behaviour you want, or use the table argument to the delegate method  
so choose the behaviour.

I think this is what the setDelegate method does.

Hope this helps,

Dave.
