Dale,
I tried this, but no joy. To be precise, I go to Edit>File Types...; then
I can
either change the one extant text definition (which in my project was
initially
R*ch and TEXT; i.e. A BBedit file) and/or add other definitions. I did
both,
with no detectable effect. The only effect in behaviour I can produce is
when I
change the creator code of the app, as it will then demand a different
creator
code for the TEXT file. I didn't try all conceivable permutations, but a
creator
code of ???? for the app doesn't seem to allow any kind of file to be
dropped
onto it. Same result for an empty creator code
Thanks very much, even though I am still stumped... :-(
