I'm running NS 3.0 and trying to set SoundPlayer to start up whenever I
double-click on a file with an ".au" extension.  I clicked on such a file,  
opened the Tools inspector, went to "tools" panel, which presented me with what  
appears to be a file well, currently populated with just Edit.  I tried to drag  
the SoundPlayer Icon into this well, but the Icon just returned to the dock.   
What am I doing wrong?  How do you set an application other than the current  
default to open when you double-click on a file with a certain filetype?
