System 7.0 decides what kinds of files an application can open by looking at
all of the file types defined in the applications bundle resource.  so. to add
the ability to open a different type of doc, add its type to the applications 
bundle resource. no need for it to have an assouated icon. NOTE: this requires
the use of ResEdit so be careful.

You must rebuild the desktop for the system to be able to act on your changes
if you want an application to be able to open any document (like ResEdit can)
add the file type '****' to the bundle resource.

I only go to school at UCI, i'm sure most of the people here don't know me, so 
of course they may not share my opinions.
