     Really?  Which attribute is that?  I don't see it in any of the file-
attribute-changers I have.  There's an "Inited" attribute, but it doesn't have
anything to do with whether there's INITs in the file; that attribute just
means that the Finder's had a chance to look at the file and position it in a
window and/or add its BNDL info to the Desktop.  At least, all my documents
I've checked had the Inited bit set (and I certainly hope they don't all have
INITs in them... that must be some virus... :) ), and clearing the Inited bit
in a few of my INITs didn't stop them from loading.
     Anyway, could you point me to the documentation of this?  I'll probably
be writing a few INITs shortly, and it would be very nice if they loaded... :)
