TextEdit features in my Cocoa app

I recently discovered the very slick D&D support inherent in the Apple TextEdit application. Among its' features are the ability to D&D finder folders full of all kinds of nested entities. Not only can it save all that neat stuff as an RTFD, you can also D&D from the text document these "folder objects" back to the finder. Very slick!

So slick, it makes me want to support the features I need in my program to emulate this behavior. Using an NSTextView is where I actually discovered this behavior. And it seems to be completely automagical ala Coca. Except ...

D&D from an NSTextView to the finder isn't natively supported. Can one of you fine folks on the list just give a hint as to what I must do to add this additional capability? I'm just looking for your basic best approach angle to achieve this behavior.

Thanks.

Chris
