Navigate to one of your documents. Do Get Info on it. Look on the
resulting panel for the words "Open with" and click on the triangle next
to it to see an expanded list of possibilities. You'll see a pull-down
menu for applications. Use that to navigate to your compiled
application. Then, under the phrase "Use this application to open all
documents like this" click on the Change All button.
