If dumb questions are OK, here's mine ;-} I have a version of ResEdit that came bundled with some program or other, but have absolutely no documentation for it or any idea how to use it. Specifically the README for a file I ftp'd says to "use ResEdit or some other utility to change the file type and creator to SIT!." I have the file. I have ResEdit. I didn't see an obvious command to do that presumably simple task. I'd appreciate specific information on that one task, and general information on how I can become a menace to myself with ResEdit in general. Thanks. -- :-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: | Brian G.

Select the file and do menu "Get info" (very much like finder), you will get a window where you could change the Type and Creator. If the reason for this is to open a Stuffit archive, there is a much easier way: Hold down option-key while selecting the menu item "Open archive" in Stuffit. This will give you the possibility to open any file.

In-Reply-To: message from briang@bari.Eng.Sun.COM Brian: ALl you have to do is start Res-Edit, select the file from the little window showing whatever volume the file is on and going get info or Cmnd-I. THat is where the file type and creator can be set. Disktop can do this also; just select the file and go cmnd-I.
