That's always been the file type (except in MetaCard it was MSTK) but 
the files may have lost their file types entirely. Lion doesn't use file 
types.

You could try using "answer file with type" instead, which looks at both 
file types and extensions (and works on Windows too.) It's got its own 
entry in the dictionary.
