UV Editor doesn't want to respond...

After a week of texturing (on a different model) I was feeling quite confident using the UV Editor. Tonight, I cannot get the six-sided flattened cube (white lines) to appear. Before, one of the controls at the far left side would make it appear and I could use the Transform tools to adjust the texture. Where am I going wrong?

Press the "w" key to be in move mode. You may want to switch the component mode to move the UV's to UV mode.

edit: Found the Component Mode icon. Clicked it. But nothing changes in the UV Editor. How do I get the six-sided flattened cube to appear?

edit: Here's a copy of the doc., just in case.

Perhaps try clicking on Create UVs > Automatic Mapping, and then going into the UV Editor?

In the UV editor, right hand click and select Edit NURBS UV mode. This should show up your UVs. If you want to avoid this convert the NURBS objects to polygons.
