As you say, setting default application in one .gz seems to do it for
all .gz files. I did this and it still seems to be OK but I have done
this before and it has reverted to trying to open with gnucash when I
next tried a .gz file. I shall have to see what else I am doing to mess
things up. Thanks for the confirmation I am doing the right thing.
