Jeff I'm not sure if that's totally correct. In my case I *do* have to
change the filetype as when a SHK archive is transferred using zmodem
(using MMGR) it is saved with a TXT filetype. If I double click on the
archive from within the finder with it set to a TXT filetype, it opens
in Hermes (even with a .SHK appended to the end of the filename). As I
mentioned in a previous posting, however, I was able to change the
filetype to BIN or LBR and the file association would work (maybe it
just has to be anything other than TXT?).
Anyway, that's how it is for me. :-)
cheers,
