Best way to use NSTextList?

I'm trying to use NSTextList in my application, and I'm stumbling on how best to use it. From what I can tell, when a NSTextList is added via the pulldown in the ruler (using the disk option), a series of things happen:

A tab stop 11pts from the left is added
The string "\t{disk}\t" is inserted (where {disk} is a bullet)
The head indent is set to 36
A NSTextList is added to the paragraph style.

If I wanted to create a shortcut in my menu to do this (so the user wouldn't have to bring up the ruler) do I have to perform all these steps myself, or is there some method I'm missing that will do all this for me? And if I have to do this all by hand, what determines the 11pt tab stop, and the 36pt head indent?

thanks,

-gus
