Thanks for the information, Chris. The reason why I wondered if "C

documents is
because both of the following types of files appear on my computer
as that
type of file, with a large "h" icon or sometimes totally blank:
1) Tab-delimited text files generated by Palm Desktop 4.0 for OS X. No
extension and, I think, no file type.
The Palm Desktop exported text files are type "TEXT". On Mac OS X,
if you have Project Builder installed, text files without any
extension are mapped to Project Builder, and apparently PB's
default description for files without extensions is "C Header
Source File".
I'm not sure whether this is because Project Builder is claiming to
be the default editor for "TEXT" files, or whether Launch Services
(the OS facility that maps types and extensions to applications) is
simply buggy. It might also simply be that there are multiple
applications claiming "TEXT" files, and PB wins because it was
installed last.

There is no spoon.
But the fork mocks me by clinging tenaciously to its limited
concept of reality.
