I now ose f-file mode on MacOS X, and it is VERY nice, as you have the  
4 files in a bundled folder (with an icon and extension), and it looks  
like a file, but is a package. The olny problem is that you have to  
hack the NavServicesOpen as it doesnt work on "Replace file" when the  
user wants to replace an existing  oackage-folder with a new, you get  
"Cannot  replace folder error", else it works perfect.

This isnt RB though its [VSDK Macho PB], but soon I will release the  
app and you will be able to see for your self ;-). I guess you can to  
the same workaround for NavSevices on RB, and you have to set some  
NavServices OpenFlags, and Hack a little in your PList,
