Ken,
Okay, that makes perfect sense. You are right, I was storing the pipe-
separated string of values to avoid needing another DB table for
single values that would not surpass more than 2 or 3 per record.
However, your and Kyle's response now make it obvious that the pipe-
string is not the natural/logical format for cocoa use, and should be
a part of the model.

I think what Kyle meant is that your model is the values between the
pipe separators. The pipe-separated string format is part of your
file format. I don't know what your model represents, but I doubt
that the pipe-separated string format is inherent to the thing which
it represents. Rather, it seems like the sort of thing which is
only part of the storage format.
So, I think the model itself should parse the storage format and
expose its state in the more natural format for Cocoa -- an array
property.
Cheers,
Ken
