If you don't want to create a conduit, you can "hack" it and change the type to be 'appl' and set the back-up bit. Just make sure to change it back to whatever it was when you're done with it, or it will show up in the finder. As for tools to set the back-up bit, <begin shameless plug> There is a freeware tool you can use called Palmasaurus. You can find it here: <http://hazelware.luggle.com/palmasaurus/> <end shameless plug> There are other good tools like FileZ or RsrcEdit, as well, but I didn't write them. =)
