/**
* The File Association dictionary associates a file extension with a File
* Association record which contains command name, mime type, icons, and other
* information about the file type.  The icons referenced by the file association
* are managed by the Icon Dictionary; this guarantees that each icon is loaded
* only once into memory.
* The associations are determined by the information by the FOX Registry settings;
* each entry under the FILETYPES registry section comprises the command line,
* extension name, large icon, small icon, and mime type:
*
*   command ';' extension ';' bigicon [ ':' bigiconopen ] ';' icon [ ':' iconopen ] ';' mime [ ';' flags ]
*
* For example, the binding for "jpg" could be:
*
*   xv %s &;JPEG Image;bigimage.xpm;miniimage.xpm;image/jpeg;term
*
* The association for a file name is determined by first looking at the entire
* file name, then at the whole extension, and then at sub-extensions.
* For example, "name.tar.gz", "tar.gz", and "gz" can each be given a different
* file association.  Directory names may also be given associations; there is
* no command-line association for a directory, however.  The association for a
* directory is found by first checking the whole pathname, then checking the
* pathname less the first component, and so on.  So, "/usr/local/include",
* "/local/include", and "/include" can each be given their own file associations.
* If the above lookup procedure has not found a file association, the system
* uses a fallback associations: for files, the fallback association is determined
* by the binding "defaultfilebinding".  For directories, the "defaultdirbinding"
* is used, and for executables the "defaultexecbinding" is used.
* The flags field is used for a number of bit-flags; two flags are currently
* defined: 'cd' and 'term'.  The first one is intended to cause a launcher
* to execute the application in the shown directory; the second one is meant
* to indicate that the application is to be ran inside a new terminal.
