OK, here we go again. A few weeks ago I asked for some info on how to
built my own icon for my application program. Thank you to all those
who took the time and trouble to reply. That part works fine now.

Now I want to associate an icon with a text documnent which the
application program creates. And I also want to be able to open that
text document by just double-clicking on it. I've gone thru the usual
procedure of creating icon, creating a FREF record for it, setting the
type to 'TEXT', adding the id to the resource BNDL. But when I create
a new document from my application program, it still uses the normal
document icon. I did a 'Get Info' on that document in ResEdit and
found that the creator field is empty. But when I changed that field 
into the name of my autograph, it works fine. I suspect the problem is
that it can't find the name of my autograph. How do I get it to find
the name?? Have I missed something?? Thanx in advance.
