You can't. NSFilePromisePboardType pasteboards depend on a private 
class called NSFilePromiseDragSource, so the only supported way of 
initiating a file-promise drag is to call the -
dragPromisedFilesOfTypes:... method. Check the list archives for more 
information; there's been a lot of talk about file-promise drags in 
the past: <http://www.cocoabuilder.com/>
