Ahhhh. Now I get it.  My misunderstanding.

But why not just do a set type/creator from within the script? :-( am I
still being obtuse?  I really have never needed this; the last time it
mattered to me what creator type my output had I needed to set it to Xcel
:-(

Is there any place in all of this for using Internet Config?  It's so well
set up to do mappings of this sort... (Presuming, of course, tht Matthias
or someone else has the time or inclination to do this).
