Good point. I suppose file extensions work 'well enough' for me. I think most 
designers will have files with extensions already attached, this being a 
Windows-world after all.
I'll go see if I can find a Python 'file' command/module of some kind 
otherwise I'll have to shell out with popen or something.

Right now, that's secondary to knowing what to do with the various kinds of 
files I am dealing with.

Thanks again,
