Thanks for the response, Sarah, you were the only one. I did some experimenting with this. Leaving the code as "????????", even with an ".html" extension, causes OS 9 to put up a dialog asking what app to use for the file. When I tried setting it to "????HTML" all I got was a dialog saying it couldn't be opened because the app couldn't be found -- and no option to choose one. Too bad, because your idea sounded promising.
OK, next idea... what about setting the fileType to empty?
That's what I do with OS X and the system works it out from the extension. In OS 9, presumably it would use the PC Exchange settings and might get it right.
