mlHelp getting custom cell layout in NSOutlineView column

Hi,
I'd like to make an NSOutlineView have a (perceptually) single column, 
with 2 labels and an image. The image isn't really important at the 
moment, as I can't implement that part yet. At the moment I just want 
to have two labels within a column, one above the other. I've been 
trying to find some documentation as to how to do this, and as far as 
I can tell I'm supposed to subclass NSCell and somehow draw both 
labels. I'm completely new to creating views and such, and I'm unable 
to find any good sample code as how to do it. The layout I want looks 
something like this:

+---------------+
  |                    |      Foobar
  |  (Image)    |
  |                    |      Some description that can be quite 
long, but should never
  |                    |      exceed the height of the image...
  +--------------+

I hope that doesn't come out too mangled, but you get the picture. I'm 
mostly worried about the two text fields, since the image could 
probably go in a separate column.

How do I go about this?
