I want to be able to drag StuffIt 1.5.1 archives onto Compact Pro (or MacWrite
files onto MS Word, etc). In IM6, chapter 9, I read you have to:

 - Add FREF resources for all file types the app can open
 - Clear the app's Inited bit
 - Rebuild the desktop

So, I added a FREF resource with ID 130, for file type 'SIT!', with local ID 2;
I modified the BNDL resource (added a reference to the FREF with local ID 2
and resource ID 130), cleared Compact Pro's Inited bit, and rebooted with
Cmd&Option pressed.
It doesn't work! Nowhere in IM6 can I find any explanation for this. A few
days ago someone else also posted something about this problem, and one
answer was posted pointing out you need to rebuild the desktop. Well, I did
that, but still no dice. Is there someone out there who did get this to work
who could give me (or post) a step-by-step guide how to accomplish this?
And while you're at it, what on earth does the Inited bit do?
Thanks!
