You can change the application which opens a file via "Get Info" but how can you do it via Applescript?

Changing the "file type", "file creator," and "original item" properties via a finder script doesn't do it.  I notice that when you change it using "Get Info" the "kind" property changes but that property is "read only" to the finder script.
