I am not sure now, it was 3 years ago on one of our MetaCard  
projects. The application wasn't even build with the Carbon engine,  
and running on OS X in the OS 9 emulation mode.
Here is a note that I've written on configuring the ACGI Dispatcher  
[text in quote are the new one]:

==========================
Follow these steps:

- in ACGI Dispatcher, go File -> Configure Suffix Mappings...
- click "New"
- type ".mms" in the Suffix field (without the quotes) [or any .xxx  
that you would like to trigger your application]
- select "launch as suffix" in Action.
- click "Choose App" when the button appear, locate the MMS  
application. [MMS is the Metacard standalone application]
- click "Save".
- and click "Save" again if need be.
- DONE!

=============================

Hope this helps.
