Alas,

I have tried to do that - still won't work!

I even copied the whole BNDL resource (together with its FREF and icons)
from BBEdit, then changed the creator (hoping that whatever was in BBEdit
would also work for me) . No way - still only files with the same creator
are accepted.

The same thing, BTW, happens with the AE application tester which is
supplied with the FutureBasic 1.02 examples. Only same-creator files work.

Another silly thing: the app should have BBEdit's icon on the desktop - it
doesn't. Maybe these two things are connected?

Thanks again!
