And, if you set the file's type to 'TEXT' and the creator to
'MSWD', the finder will open MS Word upon double clicking the
file's icon.  In fact, just writing out the pure text into
the file and setting the appropriate file type, TEXT almost always
is supported, and setting the appropriate creator, MSWD for Microsoft
Word, MACA for MacWrite makes the text more easy to get at.
