SKILL Q: from ddViewType to "cellView"

    I'm using ddGetObj on a view to get a ddViewType database object. But
    I want to use information *inside* the view to guide a SKILL script.
    Specifically I'm looking to get to cellView~>instances information
    without actually opening the view for edit.

    In short, what is the bread trail from ddViewType to instances?

    e.g. ddViewType~>{...~>?...~>?...}~>cellView~>instances

    I'm using the instance information to guide a hiearchical delete
    command.

    You'll need to do a dbOpenCellViewByType() to open the cellView ID and
    then you can get to the instances.

    Or you can use the pcdb.* SKILL functions to retrieve information
    about the child cellViews used within a cellView (comes from the
    "pc.db" file in CDB, or directly from the database in OA).

    Regards,

    Andrew.
