I have some code to control some buttons for an interface, but I would like to add a small text label that continuously displays time by hh:mm:ss. How do I do that?

well, i think you should take a look at some cocoa development related books or websites - like cocoadev cocoadevcentral cocoabuilder ...

in short: define your

IBOutlet NSTextField* timeLabel;

in your controller class and hook it up to the NSTextField in your NIB. take a look at NSDate and update it (via a NSTimer or your draw loop)

didito
Take a look at NSDateFormatter too. Bindings and properties could be used to solve this too. In addition to diditos recommendations I would add Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X (3rd Edition)By Aaron Hillegass.
