I think I was mistaken when I said I could open chatserver.rev (of
simplechat) from the dialog box; I can't now. I can open galactic
quest.
The latter was downloaded stuffed, so probably had a creator code.
I tried changing the suffix (extension) on some stacks. For
XMLtree and chatserver, the type changed. For galactic quest, the
type stayed the same. (I put .rev back.) I assume the system gets
the type from the extension on the first two, but from a creator
code for the last.
I tried
answer "huh?" with filter ".rev"
and was not able to chose any stack.
