AppleScript and apps that show up as textfiles

[sleestack808]

I put apps on OS 9 computer and they show up as Simpletext files. Also some audio files are PC Files,

I read a soution
Open the Script Editor, select those applications in the Finder, and run the following:
 
tell application “Finder"
set file type of selection to “APPL"
end tell

on apples site, but I dont seem to have applescript. Not even sure this would do it.

Im open to help and suggestions. Also, can't find applescript anywhere

thank you

Perhaps you should make sure the apps are compressed before you move them onto the computer. That will make sure the metadata isn't messed up.
