Walter,
Thanks for the reply. Yes, believe it or not, when I click the TextMate icon in the Dock TextEdit opens up instead of TextMate. I checked my default for text files and it is set to Smultron.
I've been a Mac user for about 3 years now, but something like this is still magic for me. I don't know how to 'open up the hood' and edit what happens when a Dock icon is clicked. Also, as further confirmation, I typed 'mate' in the Console and TextEdit opened up that way too.

Are you saying that you double-click on the TextMate icon in your Applications folder and TextEdit opens instead? I've never heard that one.
If you're saying that you double-click on a text FILE and TE opens it instead of TM, that's understandable and easy to fix. Click on one such text file in your Finder, and choose Get Info (Command-I). In the inspector panel, look for the Open With section, and choose TM. Then click the Open all documents with this application (not the actual words, something like that) and confirm that you really mean it. Should fix the problem permanently (or until the next major sun-spot event...).

Recently, when I try to open TextMate, TextEdit opens up instead. I cannot figure out how to launch TextMate. I think this started happening around the time I upgraded to Lion, but I am not sure if there is any connection.
I rebooted one time and was about to launch TextMate, but now even if I reboot it still brings up TextEdit.
Thanks for your help,
