The Rev 2.6 engine finally addresses this OS X anomaly, and now supports 
syntax which will allow us to filter stacks by file extension regardless 
of creator code:

   answer file "Select a stack:" with type "MetaCard Stack|mc|MSTK" \

I'll add that in the next update.  Last week I added new icons for OS X 
and XP to the ask and answer dialogs, and modified those stacks and the 
Resource Mover to accomodate them -- to be posted soon...
