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 of the later versions of MacOS (8 or 9) introduced a control panel like
the file type association screen in Windows, that let you explicitly set
what program opens what type of file, along with MIME types.
