Well in the view I get no visibility to the foreign keys.  Just now I 
found this  example:

class Student < ActiveRecord::Base
  set_table_name "students"
  set_primary_key "id"

  belongs_to :advisor, :class_name=>"Advisor", :foreign_key => 
"advisor_id"
  belongs_to :second_advisor, :class_name=>"Advisor", :foreign_key => 
"sub_advisor"

  has_and_belongs_to_many :courses, :class_name=>"Course"

end

I want my posts/edit to allow me to select a user.
