-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

I recently re-installed Warp because of a hardware failure. Now
I have a number of objects on my desktop and in my folders with
associations that I am not happy with. Apparently, the order in which
I re-installed software left me with some weird object associations.

For example, my HTML files had a default association that would
launch the Java applet viewer instead of Netscape. I was able to fix
the problem with the HTML files using ASSOEDIT, but I still have a
number of other file objects that launch the wrong application when I
double click on them -- even after making the changes with ASSOEDIT.

I have been able to use the GUI to change the default "Open As"
selection for the primary pop-up menu on those items that are not fixed
by ASSOEDIT. But doing this one at at time through the GUI is more
than I have time for. Is there another way to do this for all of the
files in a given directory? I have a REXX code example using some
REXXUtil calls, but I am unsure about modifying it because of some
scary comments in the code:
/* This only works by magic. Use at your own risk */

Any suggestions?
