A while back, someone mentioned an init that could be configured to launch
MS Word if a MacWrite doc is clicked. I seem to remember that the way
it worked was that the first time you clicked on a document that did not
have it's application available, the init would ask you which app should be
used (instead of the usual 'the app could not be found' error). It then
remember the assignments for future use.

I seem to remember that it was part of a commercial package, but I can't
rememebr the name. 

Could someone fill me in?
