[modal release];

then, in the one that is loaded, do this:

- (id)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundleOrNil {
    if (self = [super initWithNibName:nibNameOrNil bundle:nibBundleOrNil]) {
		self.title=@"hi mom";
        // Custom initialization
    }
    return self;
}

works for me. the modal view controller slides in with a nav bar containing "hi mom" as the title. let me know if you want me to send you the full xcode project.

Thanks jsd. That probably works, but it doesn't solve my problem as it will set the title when the view is loaded. I want to set the title when the view appears as I use the same view for adding new items and for editing existing ones. The solution described above works for me though, kludgy though it may be.
