After creating the file, change the MacCreator property of
the FolderItem to "bbBB".

Hi Charles,
Thanks,
"Probably.  After creating the file, change the MacCreator property of

I can open it in myApp2 by dropping it on myApp2's icon, then save the new file and it will be saved as a myApp2 file now. But how is that done programatically?

Great Charles.
Thanks, I tried it and has replaced what I had.
Thanks again.

I have a new problem. That file was created by MyApp (Creator code
aaAA) and has MyApp's icon. When double-clicked it opens myApp as
expected but I want it to open another app, myApp2 which has bbBB
as its creator code.
Is that possible?
Thanks again

OK,
This works

Only if you're lucky.  Here is some code that doesn't depend on luck.

dim f as FolderItem = DesktopFolder.Child("foo")
If f is nil then //something went wrong
   Return
End if

dim t as TextOutputStream = f.AppendToTextFile
If t is nil then
   //check f.LastErrorCode
   Return
End if
t.WriteLine "foo"
t.WriteLine "foo"
t = nil //the file is closed when the object is destroyed

FolderItem.AppendToTextFile creates the file if one does not already
exist; presumably CreateTextFile fails if the file already exists.
