Why can't you? If your OC (which I assume is assigned to a variable somewhere 
(not in Record!)) has records in it, you can call methods exactly as you 
describe.

That is, if
    record familyname printNl
works, and
    (mylist at: 1)
returns the same object that record refers to,
why wouldn't
    (mylist at: 1) familyname printNl
work? Perhaps I'm missing something...
