OK. Now, how does one find out what those file type codes are? For instance, if I want .doc files to be converted to an AppleWorks WordProcessing doc, I'm gonna need to know the code for that file type. Also, since there are three listings for .doc (the other two are mapped to Word) how does the computer decide which file type to map to? The word files I have received (many) have always shown up in Emailer attachments as word files that had to then be manually run thru MacLinkPlus. It would be nice if all those .doc's showed up as AW wordprocessing files without my lifting a mouse. -Gabriel ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
