Get a model object instead of an array when calling $this->Model->find(id)

Hi everybody

This seems pretty basic, but I just don't get it to work...

I have a model User with a method:

function getIni() {
return "some INI stuff";
}

Then I have an action downloadIni() in UsersController:

function downloadIni() {
// ...
$user = $this->User->find($this->params['named']['user_id']);
$user->getIni();
// ...
}

However, because find() actually doesn't return a User model instance
(but an array), this doesn't work. But sadly I just didn't find a way
to get a model instance from $this->User...

I found this:
http://debuggable.com/posts/how-to-properly-create-a-model-instance-manually:480f4dd6-4424-4c89-9564-4647cbdd56cb
But this seems to be outdated...

Thanks for help!
