fileType & creator

[-= JB =-]

Thanks Ken.  It works when I set it *before* the ""open file"  
command.  As for the
file type it was good of you to mention that but I wanted it to be a  
Rev stack due
to I was transferring a Rev stack with a communications program I  
wrote and I
wanted to save it properly after it is transferred.
