It's just the Interface Builder UI getting in your way.

1) Click your "nib" document window. Probably called something like  
"MainMenu.xib - English".
2) Go to the "View" menu and select "as List".
3) Use the twist down arrows to navigate to your slider. If you use  
the twist down on your slider you'll see the NSSliderCell inside it.  
Click it.
4) In the Inspector window, you can type in the name of your  
NSSliderCell subclass in the "Identity Inspector's" "Class" field  
(Command-6).

That'll do it.  Using Interface Builder in "as List" mode is always  
the way to go (IMHO).
