    Finding 'owned' text files

    Is there any way I can use the terminal to give me a list of all the text files that are 'owned' by or opened with Textwrangler when their icon is double clicked? If so, how? I've got a number of such files scattered throughout a large directory and sub-directories.

    I just created a test account, logged-out of my account and entered the test account. I couldn't find any question marks on any windows. The OS reverted to the factory defaults.

    Question Mark at the top bar of each window

    This question mark appears at the top of EVERY window, be it home directory, applications, macintosh HD, even external HD; but Not on individual apps or utilities. Holding the mouse pointer directly over the mark does nothing, but depressing and holding the left mouse button brings up the...

    Why is my home directory partially duplicated in /Users/Shared

    Can anyone tell me why 91% of my home directory is duplicated in the /Users/Shared directory? To the best of knowledge, all file-sharing is off and this situation is just wasting space. I'm using OS X 10.4.11 on a PoweMac G4.

    Has anyone experienced a sudden and sharp decrease in audio level (volume) from iTunes 6.0.5 (20)? Up till a few days ago, iTunes was functioning fine. But I first noticed this yesterday while playing some MP3s I'd just ripped from one of my albums. At first, I thought it was either my...

    tr command just for text files?

    Should I run the command `tr \\r \\n <macfilename> <unixfilename>' (minus the quotes) in the Terminal on textfiles ONLY or will tr harm any binary files? After I migrate to OS X in a few months, I was planning on copy a large folder of text files to my home directory. I was then going the...

    dot-configrc files

    [snip] I know what it is, I just want to know where it should be placed! I know *NIX would ordinarily place it in a user's home directory. As for where OS X "looks" for it is another matter.

    dot-configrc files

    When opening the terminal, the default shell tcsh starts. Why doesn't the shell create a default .cshrc (or .tcshrc) configuration file? At least I sure can't ANY dot-config files. The same question applies for opening (and then quitting) emacs -- no .emacsrc

    Device Names of external drives in the terminal

    What are the device names/codes for both a Firewire drive and a Zip drive when using the terminal? I want to cd to these drives and edit the text files on them using either pico or (shudder) emacs.
