Pat, I haven't done this exactly, but:

Check out the OpenPanel delegate methods:

- (BOOL)panelValidateFilenames:sender;
- (BOOL)panel:sender filterFile:(const char *)filename inDirectory:(const  
char *)directory;

You probably have to run modal for the .Z type [remember its probablye  
doing a strrchr on the ".", which explains why .wksp.Z doesn't work, and  
then further filter the files based on the delegate methods.
