NSMatrix of text cells, editable and selectable

I'll try this one more time in case is slipped past one of your gurus yesterday.

I'm interested in building a window that 'looks' like
a spreadsheet, so I've used an NSMatrix of text cells.
So far so good. The problem is that I am not able to
select more than one cell at a time regardless of if I
use the 'list' view that supposedly allows this kind
of thing. I've read in
http://www.cocoabuilder.com/archive/message/cocoa/2004/10/20/119809
that this is because if they're editable, they're not
multi-selectable.  Can anyone else confirm this for
sure?  The documentation doesn't mention any such
thing.

If this is the case, are there any good and simple
alternatives besides NSTableView for being able to
have a matrix of cells like in a spreadsheet? I'm not
interested in using it for complex math or anything
like that (no spreadsheet engine)--only to have a matrix of cells, with each
cell being able to have certain properties like
different background colors, different text values,
etc. I'd like to be able to have it do the standard
kinds of selections that a spreadsheet would do.
Thanks for any guidance.


Matthew
