Folks,

  I'm in search of a "Launcher" program that would accept data files from one
program and call another, passing them said files.

  The specific situation I have in mind is this:  I have a MacWrite file, but
no MacWrite on the disk.  When I double click on this file, I'd like Word to be
launched, and passed that file with whatever mechanism the Mac uses.

  Is this possible?  Shareware, or commercial, it doesn't matter.  Even some
example code would be appreciated, as I could probably hack something together.

As always, thanks!

Rich
