This is something I have not found the time to investigate yet. What we have to do is read the documentation about file associations. I remember that the code used by the finder is more subtle than what we do now. At the time, I had the hope that the difference was not noticeable, but it seems that it is. If someone could find for us the part of the Apple docs that describes what the finder does, it would be helpful. JMarc
