First pick a file with .txt extension, use Get Info, select "Open with Application" in the popup (there's nothing about "binding"), then click the little arrow at the bottom of (probably) the TextEdit icon you see, and scroll down to the BBEdit icon, or to "Browse�" at the very bottom of the list if you don't see it there, and navigate to it. Then, when it appears, you'll see that the "Change All" button has become enabled. Click it, and that's it. If by any chance that doesn't work because no icon is there in the first place, pick another file which not only has the .txt icon but whose Get Info says that it was created with Apple SimpleText (and/or another that says TextEdit). There are some files in OS X which have no creator, and you might have tried with one of those. -- Paul Berkowitz -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
