Nevermind, I think I'm good. Basically, I'm still just a rookie with
matrices, cells and drag and drop.

So I subclassed NSMatrix, implemented the dragging protocols in my
subclass, and now appear to be good to go and fully functional. The
drag-n-drop in the matrix pays attention to what's coming in, loads up
the files, highlights and de-highlights the appropriate cells, etc.
Nothing complicated, I just needed to figure out that this was the way
to do it.

Of course, if there is a fancier way to do it w/o my implementing
everything, I'd love to know it. But, AFAIK, this is the proper
approach.
