	To answer my own question (OOPS!)...

	Create a "services" file with the following description, where <type>
is the type of file!  Put it under ~/Library/Services (or
/LocalLibrary/Services) and name it <something>.service.  Then logout and
log back in (or enter "make_services" in a Terminal window).

Filter:
Port: NXUNIXSTDIO
Send Type: NXTypedFilenamePboardType:<type>
Return Type: IXFileDescriptionPboardType
Executable: <path-name-to-desc-executable-filter>
