When no command is explicitly selected in the user agent, the
default action varies as follows:
Menu object Perform Open command
Directory Perform Open command
Executable file Perform Run command
File
Perform Open command
Except for Create, the above commands are obtained by selecting
an object and then selecting either a command from the command
menu, a function key, or function key label.
In the Create case, selecting Create yields a create menu, whether
or not an object is selected. The initial Create menu contains File
folder, Modem Profile, Phone Number, RS-232 Profile, and Standard
file (ASCII file).
Suffixes
The Suffixes file defines objects in the class files. The minimum
information which must be specified is the object Name, the identifying
Suffix, a Description (for use in folder displays), and the
default action.
The Name keyword definition begins the object definition. Subsequent
keyword definitions are assumed to belong to this object
until the next Name keyword is encountered. Other keywords
that are typically defined (aside from the required set given above)
are Create, Print, and Help.
The following keywords can be used in the Suffixes file:
Name = Object name
The object name is used in the create menu. If the Create
keyword is not defined, the default action on create will be
to create an empty file with the user specified name and
the appropriate suffix. The object name should be relatively
short, and embedded spaces are not allowed.
Suffix = file name suffix
The specified file name suffix is used to identify objects
(files) of this type. For existing applications, two letter
suffixes are used, a colon followed by an identifying letter.
For example, :W for word processor documents, or :S for
spreadsheets. The length of the user-supplied file name
plus the suffix cannot exceed 14 characters.
Description = Object description
The object description is used in folder displays. It should
