Yes, I meant getAliasList.
By the "MSelectionList combo", I simply meant that in order to turn the
strings you get back from getAliasList into MObjects - which you can then
use to do things with in the api - you need to use MSelectionList.add /
MSelectionList.getPlug
It may also be possible to just use MFnDependencyNode.findPlug, instead of
MSelectionList... I'm not sure offhand how it handles child/multi
attributes.
