Paul, As you know, I've bumped up against this problem, and haven't, yet, found the solution for the Mac case, though several people responded on the the Windows solution. In fact, as a test I just opened a notebook in Mathematica 4.0 (by dragging the notebook on top of a Mathematica 4.0 alias); then did not merely a SAVE, but a SAVE AS on the notebook from Mathematica 4.0; and then double-clicked on the SAVED AS notebook. Result: the notebook opened in MathReader 4.0, not Mathematica 4.0. That's NOT supposed to happen, and I think indicates that Mathematica has somehow messed up the standard actions of the Mac OS. --AES
