I would like to create a stack that generates a file of data to be read at a
later time from another application.  I think I can use the "open" and
"close" commands to get the data from my stack into a file, but I need to be
able to set the TYPE and CREATOR to match that of the original application
before it will "see" the new data files created by my stack.  I manually
changed the TYPE and CREATOR using DiskTop and the data files I created
(actually used Word as a test) showed in the dialog box of my application
program as expected and read in fine.

Any ideas?  Perhaps there is an XCMD or XFCN.
