It's not really "single click" behaviour -- it's a classic
master-detail interface, i.e., the lower pane shows the detail of the
item *selected* (not necessarily clicked -- it should be
keyboard-navigable too) in the table.

It's all made particularly straightforward by using bindings
(http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/CocoaBindings/Tasks/masterdetail.html),
though I would hesitate to recommend bindings programming to anyone
who hasn't understood (i.e. successfully implemented at least one
instance of) the data source approach fully.

Just implement the method tableViewSelectionDidChange: in your
delegate and call your updateLowerPartAfterSelectionInUpperPart: from
there.
