Here is a something which I feel ought to be changed, at little cost, in the
next version of hypercard:
When a text file is created using open file in hypercard, the text file's
creator is set to MACA (MacWrite). Seeing as a lot of us now use MacWriteII
(or other things!), it would be helpful if it were possible in some way to
choose the creator of the file to be MWII etc instead of MACA.

Best would be some way of doing it using hypertalk, 2nd best would be for
the creator string to be in a resource which could be resedited, and least
good of all is the current dodgy idea where I patched the code resources of
HyperCard directly. Come on, you guys at Apple, I thought this was the type
of thing resources were supposed to be about - to aloow customisation :-)

Seriously, I'd be happy if people at Apple who read this group could give this
modest wish consideration.
