First I do appreciate the help. The code suggested below does what I
need it to, but I don't understand something (probably the semantics
of 'static').
I know the constants are set only once as I traced the code but, it
sure seems like they should be set each time the method is called.
It appears that the line
static NSArray* constants = nil;
is only being executed on the first call to the method and being
ignored on all subsequent calls.
Could someone please explain why? Thanks.

for example:

if( constants == nil )
constants = [[NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"constant1",
@"constant2", @"constant3", nil] retain];
return constants;
}
