	Recently, we used Kermit Server to move all the files from our
departmental computer to our MacII. Kermit assigns MACA as a creator for
all the text files.  It is very painful now that whenever one of the files
is double clicked, MacWrite is called and we are asked about what to do 
with the carriage return.  We'd like to use Edit to edit all the files.
We know how to change file creator from MACA to EDIT. However, there are
over a thousand files, we do not want to do them one by one at a time.
	We come to ask for help.  If anyone know any application that can
change the file creator for the files within one folder, please let us
know.  As usual, thanks in advance.
