I don't know the details of configuring an Info.plist; I'd suggest that you either look inside some packaged applications on your system (TextEdit, Project Builder, etc.) by control-clicking on them in the Finder and selecting "Show Package Contents" or read the Info.plist documentation at developer.apple.com.

Ah, CFDocumentTypes, thank you. The old Classic FREF missing link. But to know which application should handle which particular .rtf or text file you would still need to set the creator to that application?

Not on Mac OS X. The application that claims .rtf (TextEdit by default) will automatically bind to .rtf documents that have no creator code. If you associate a creator code with a file, any application with that creator code takes precedence.
