Not the regular "get info" box, but there was an excellent
third-party utility called "Get More Info" which would let
you see and edit file attributes like type/creator and
various flags. I highly recommend it.
What I think Dave is talking about is changing the
association of text files so they're not opened with
TeachText/SimpleText by default. I don't remember
exactly how that's done, but there's a third-party utility
for that as well; I need to boot up my old 7300 which
was my personal machine in the '90s, because it has a
lot of these guys installed.

One last thing before I turn in... does anyone
remember how to
associate a file type with a particular application in MacOS 6? My goal
is to get it so I can click on a text file and have BBedit open it up
for me.
Isn't in the "Get Info" dialog box, the file type and creator, specified
as four characters?
