and yes, Micromat still offers it.. it was always regular maintenance just like 'fixing permissions' is today with OSX...

I love a lot of things about OS9... it's speedy, lack of eye-candy (have you seen it run on a dual-1.25ghz machine?).
The text editing core code was better engineered as far as selection is concerned.
It's totally different in OSX. The timing is way different. It's hard in OSX to say, click before a selection, as it wants to keep the selection active, eventually by clicking you lose the content completely. One does about 3x as much clicking. And files launch way too easily from a list when one is trying to just edit the filename. And don't get me started about the default listing of files in the ask/answer file dialogs - one has to click three times every time to get a descending file list (it doesn't stick). And I preferred borders around windows. In OSX I swear I click inside the boundaries of a window and I get what's behind the window selected instead. This happens 3 or 4 times a day. The NEXT geeks won in that department. If we hadn't so loudly complained, we wouldn't have a desktop. Having said that, even with all the eye candy, it's amazingly stable.
Association of a "primary" application with a creator signature in Mac OS is...erm...mysterious. In my experience, the best method for dealing with this sort of situation is:
1. Move the application you want to be primary out of its folder and onto the desktop.
