Drag & Drop Launch

Hi All,
After much searching on mailing lists, books, and other sources I cannot find a straight forward answer to a very basic question. How do I make my application accept Files or Folders dragged onto its icon?
I have an already completed Cocoa application (not Document-based) that takes a file path and performs an operation. Since the application is so simple there is no File menu. The user hits a button on the UI and selects the File or Folder and clicks OK. The application then does its thing and displays the results.
All I want is to give the user the opportunity to by-pass having to select the file and allow them to drop on the icon. It would also be nice if the user could drag multiple files and it could process them one at a time and give the results when all files have been processed.

Thanks,
Kris
