File Associations & Auto-Open with OS X

I've got a standalone developed with Rev 2.5.1 that I want to
associate with a particular file extension for both OS X and Windows.
On both platforms I can specify that all files with the extension
".xyz" is to be opened by a particular program. This works fine with
Windows, but not with OS X (v10.3.9 by the way, in case it's
relevant).
In my preOpenStack handler I'm looking at the $0, $1 parameters and
find that $1 is set to the name of the file I double-clicked on
(.xyz) for Windows but is empty for OS X. So with OS X when the user
double-clicks a .xyz data file, it opens my standalone OK but not the
file itself.
Is there a known solution for this for OS X so my users can simply
double-click a file to cause it to open my standalone AND THEN the
file they clicked on?
Thanks
Peter
