This is very similar to the question I had asked regarding opening a  
TeX file in Edit and not in TeXView. Since saying  similar problems  
have similar solutions is true here. I will post the solution of a  
couple of people who sent me the soltion to give them the credit. 

SUBSTITUTE  .wn FOR .tex and  it should work

Here is the solution mailed to me by Dimitri, Similar solutins were  
posted  
by others

Open inspector when opening a .tex file. Press command-3. Click on  
Edit  
and press Set Default button. Now all .tex files will open in Edit.

 Other options:

        - Bring up the Tools Inspector and double click the
          application that you want to open the file.  This doesn't  
change  
the default.

- Drag the file to the Edit icon (in your Dock or somewhere on
          the screen) while holding down the Command key and drop  
the
          file onto the Edit icon.  Edit will try to open the file.
