No idea, but what I'd do is save one, then say its reference (eg, 'file
:MacHD:Desktop Folder:samplefilename" ' ), in the following code is
'<<fref>>',

tell app "finder"
get the file type of <<fref>>
end tell

And look at the result - which will tell you what the finder's file type is
for that file. Works with 'get the creator type of...' (or any other
readable prooperty of a finder object) also.

For specs on properties for the Finder's document-file objects, start at
page 60 of the Apple Script Finder Guide. (You can get it in PDF from
Apple's web site.)
