I think the issue is not how you write the file, it's a matter of application settings.

Under the "Targets" tab in PB you can specify file extensions that your app recognizes. In the Jaguar PB, it's in aitem called "Document Types" in a section called "Info.plist Entries". I think if you add the .rtf and .sc file extensions and rebuild your app, the Finder will know to consider your app as a candidate for opening those files. You might have to log out and back in.

I already have this set up as follows (in XML, sorry, since I can't copy/paste from the PB dialog). Anyway this is mostly the same as TextEdit's Document Types settings.
