The MM write-up says nothing about the contents of the plist files and does not explain which properties must match which filenames, etc.
That's true; however, Mac's OSX is crawling with plist files that can be copied and altered.
I've gone through *all* bundles on my OS 10.2 Mac and found *none* that include the ClassicMacOS folder or applications. Since my problem was exactly OS 9, I found this exercise pretty fruitless :-) So if someone can add a paragraph or two about the essential or the most useful properties, this effort will be appreciated by many of us, I'm sure. The pointer your have provided below is very elucidating... I'd look like a regular idiot if all my CD-ROMs went around the world with the name Otto in them :-)
.....what in the world is "com.macromedia.Otto"--do we need to use that?)
That is the name of your preferences file. You can rename it anything you want, since you can't change the file's contents anyway. Information on how to properly name preferences files is available from Apple, but briefly they follow the Java scheme of your domain name backward, finished by the name of the app. So if I had a program named "goofball" I'd use the name com.nightwares.goofball for the prefs file.
Do you know why my bundle still shows up as "Start.app" rather than "Start" under OS 9.2? It shows up as "Start" under OS X 10.2.
Once again, thanks a million for your expert input,
Slava
