Opening a document by double-clicking its icon
Before you can open a DOS document by double-clicking its icon, you need
to use the PC Exchange control panel to specify which Macintosh application
programs will open DOS documents, as described next.
Assigning Macintosh programs to DOS documents
Using the PC Exchange control panel, you can assign Macintosh application
programs to DOS documents. For example, you can specify that all DOS
documents whose filenames end with the suffix .XLS are to be opened in the
Macintosh program Microsoft Excel.

assignments already created.
