[QUOTE="technologist, post: 427499, member: 4134"] They are plain ASCII text files, just like those from TextEdit. However, they have a creator code that assign them to open in TextWrangler, which means they carry a TextWrangler icon. Other files on your system may have a TextEdit creator code, so they will sow a TextEdit icon and open in TextEdit by default. In the same vein, you can have, for example, Photoshop JPEGS, Preview JPEGs, and GraphicConverter JPEGs, even though they are all the same format. Macs can assign the file types to different applications on a file-by-file basis, unlike PCs. You can, if you like, override this by using the "always open with" option; see the "How do I set a default app" link in my sig. I don't believe so, but I'm sure that, if you send BareBones Software (the company) some feedback, they'll make this a preferences option in the future. [/QUOTE]
