Thanks for looking into this.

In IB I have a NSArrayControllerObject called TaskController.  In the
inspector panel for that controller the Object Class Name is
NSMutableDictionary and the keys include dueDate and details.  The
TaskController is bound to File's Owner (MyDocument).

The relevant part of MyDocument is:
@interface MyDocument : NSDocument
{
   IBOutlet NSArrayController *TaskController;
   NSMutableArray *taskItems;
   ....
}

and I have implemented the index accessor methods, and they appear to
work as I can create multiple tasks, make them hold values and load &
save them.

Also thanks for your sample code page it is very helpful
