Steven,

You might find it beneficial to learn about Cocoa Bindings and Core
Data separately to minimize frustration.  For example, you can take
the 'Foundation tool' project template for creating command line
apps, add CoreData.framework to the list of frameworks linked
against, import the header, and go your merry way.

Separately, the tree controller in Cocoa Bindings does seem to be a
little thorny, especially on 10.4.  It got a big overhaul in 10.5.
You might try googling for community articles about using it and the
outline view.
