It is simply a flag to the AppleShare server software that indicates the 
application follows the rules about running as a foreground app.  
AppleShare will only run apps in the foreground that contain this resource 
(or that are of type 'fgnd' I believe).

I don't remember all the rules but the main one is that foreground apps 
aren't allowed to create, delete, etc. files on the server (they can do 
this in the Server Folder, however).
