fileType problems

Hi,

I'm setting the fileType to "FJL3PREF" for my preferences files, but 
I've noticed that this value is being used on *all* files I create, not 
just my preferences files.

I thought this value would be handler specific, i.e. it would be set to 
empty after the handler finished.  Unfortunately I'm finding that JPEG 
files that my app creates with "export image ... as JPEG" have this 
fileType as well.

Should I set the fileType to empty after I've written the prefs file?  
Or "????????"?  Or something else?

Thanks,
-- Frank
