DEF OPEN "TEXTZWEL"

The file type is TEXT
The creator is ZWEL (that's mine).
Creators must be unique.
There is a database somewhere.
I've seen it discussed many times on this list (someone else jump in here).

The four char creator must correspond to the signature in the apps BNDL resource.
Even when you do it right, you may need rebuild the desktop to to see
the appl or doc icons.
However, System 8.x and up seem to recognize the new entries right off.
