Where is the mapping between a given filename suffix and the app that is  
launched with the icon is clicked in the File Browser?  My machine has taken to  
launching the "Background" application for .ps files, presumably instead of the  
Previewer application.

How does one change this?

[Hey, this message got to Europe, although the distribution field sys usa...]

Select a .ps file, press cmd-3 (or, in the browser, select Tools Instpector  
Tools) and select the program to be activated for these files. Click 'Set  
Default' that's it.
