	How do you create an Application-style process that can be enacted via
	Unknown?  For example, how could I wrap uncompress or tar so that any
	file ending with .Z or .tar would be uncompressed, etc, by being
	doubleclicked?  I seem to recall a posting about this but I could not
	find it in my collection of same.  I know how to use Unknown to set it
	up, but not how to get it to happen.

	Thanks.
