Thanks. For example with a PrefPane named RCDefaultApp. Other possibility: click on a file with suffix .txt, open the info panel, set the open with menu to your preferred texteditor and click the button underneath called something like Change all Rudolf ___ MacOSX-talk mailing list MacOSX-talk@omnigroup.com http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk

Thanks. Sure is. Select any .txt file, and get info on it (command I). In there, you can change the open with application, and additionally tell it to open all similar files with that application. -Andy___ MacOSX-talk mailing list MacOSX-talk@omnigroup.com http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
