I think there was a thread a little while ago about how one should
add a document list to appparmhandle global area. I missed it!!

Could someone mail me a summary please. I can launch an application
but I want to give it a document to open automatically on launch and
I'm totally confused by inside mac.

On a related note. Is there a high-level method for finding the correct
application to launch from a document's signature. So far all I can think
to do is open all the desktop files (one per mounted volume) and try to
find the signature in the APPL resource. If it's there then I think the
app is present on that volume. What I do from there is a mystery.

TIA
