I don't think you can do this with Cocoa. What you are asking is to do
something that pertains only to the Finder. Since that is the case
there is very little chance that it exists in the AppKit or elsewhere.

I'm sure this isn't what you wanted to hear but as far as I can see
this is how it is.

Enjoy you're experiences with the Cocoa framework.
Peace, Alan

First I am really new to this... So I guess I am beggin for a little
slack. Maybe all I really need is pointers to the right documentation.

Is there a way to attach a "folder action" to a directory with an
objective c call... Or do I need to call an applescript to do that.

I can attach a folder action by doing an applescript like
Tell application "System Events" to attach action to myFolder using
myActionScriptFile
