Thanks muchly, I didn't see that method in the catalog source when I looked.
I forgot to look for the mybrains definition <kicks self>.

Howevever, I'm still getting 'None' as the result.  If I print out, say,
catent.id, I see the correct ID for the object I'm trying to retrieve.

It doesn't make sense that this is failing.  I must be doing something
stupid but I still can't see it.  I tried calling getObject both with
and without REQUEST as a parameter, with the same result.

I guess it's time for some more source spelunking.
