For the record, I found this for myself through trial and error, in case anyone is following this:
set nil to ASCII character 0 set nil_code to nil & nil & nil & nil tell application "Finder" set creator type of alias theFile to nil_code set file type of alias theFile to nil_code end tell
sets the creator type and file type of file theFile to "missing value"
This allows Launch Services to use it's normal means to open the file when it is double-clicked.
Thanks for the responses.

I tried to set them both to an empty string (tell app "Finder" to set creator type of file myfile to "") but got an error (don't remember the number or message). What is the value that causes file info to return "missing value" for the creator type and file type?
