[X Newbies] Linking Files to Applications [Was: Disk Utility/RESOLVED [TID]]

[Raoul Armfield]

I only reply because you insist on stating something is one way when in
fact it is another.  I have personally tested the statements alex made
and can confirm that regardless of the quotes, if you want to assign a
*.cwk" file extension to open using any other program it will make the
file association.  This does NOT mean that you can open the file
successfully but the association CAN be made.  That is what Alex was
saying and you and  vincent stubbornly refuse to grasp
