I wonder if this is an engine problem. The reason is, I have a stack 
that uses a different external which only loads about half the time. A 
client says it never loads at all, and a third person says it always 
loads. I haven't been able to determine any differences between our 
three setups or pin down any reason why the behavior would vary. All 
three of us are running OS X. I have a note in to MC tech support and if 
I figure it out, I'll let the list know.

It sounds like you need to use a utility to set the type and creator 
codes. You may be able to just use OS X's "always open with" option in 
the contextual menu, but that may not set the type correctly (it's worth 
a try though.) In OS 9, you'd rebuild the desktop, but OS X doesn't 
offer that.
