Very Computer

My applications (created with Sun Studio Fortran 95 under Solaris 8)  
create several plain, vanilla ASCII text files.  When I view the directory
in File Manager the icons for those text files are the interconnected
gears, indicating a PID.  When I double-click on the icons (wanting to
view them with the screen editor) I do indeed get an error message
indicating that I can't open them.  Write-clicking on the icons doesn't
give the option of opening the files.

I *can* open the files from within the Screen Editor itself, but opening
them from within File Manager is more convenient.

How do I associate an action (such as using the Screen Editor to open the
file) with a particular file or file type in File Manager?  Or is there
something I can do in the apps that creates the files?  Or a Sun Studio
linker option?

I would think one could do this from within File Manager, but I don't see
how to do it.

Thanks,

Bryan

If you are using CDE's File Manager, check docs.sun.com
