newbie question - matrixctrl right outlet?

I see if I hover over the right outlet of matrixctrl that "bang outputs all cells, lists set cells"

This would be great! But I can't seem to get anything to come out.

I attach a print object to the right outlet, and a bang button to the top left inlet. I light up some cells, then click the bang - nothing prints.

Do I need to do something differently to see the list?

(I have no problem getting the individual values out the left outlet, but I want to see the whole matrix as a list, like it says.)

Thanks...

I misunderstood - I thought/hoped it would dump the lit coords as a long list of row/col values - now I realize I need to specify getrow, getcol, and I only get back the specified location, not the active ones. Instead I can infer this from the left outlet with [route].
