I agree completely about the resource fork. I'm afraid my comment was  
confusing and it seemed like I longed for the days of resource forks  
getting lost when you transferred files across platforms. (I'd be just  
as happy to be rid of the extension.)

And I filed my first bug report with Apple.

Doh! I knew that and had forgotten it. I feel like such a punk now.  
(I'd still like to automate the process, but I want to try to do it  
myself.)
