	YEP!  Create a service description file (i.e., <file>.service)
under ~/Library/Services with the following information. Replace the <TEXTs>
as needed.  Run "make_services" from Terminal and then use ixbuild -g (note:
DO NOT USE Librarian TO CREATE YOUR INDEX SINCE IT DOES NOT USE THE -g
OPTION: see ixbuild(1))

Filter:
Port: NXUNIXSTDIO
Send Type: NXTypedFilenamePboardType:<YOUR_FILE_TYPE_GOES_HERE>
Return Type: IXFileDescriptionPboardType
Executable: <YOUR_EXECUTABLE_GOES_HERE>
