All project icons (data files) have a default tool field associated with
them that tells Workbench which application tool to run in order to
operate on the data that the icon represents.  When the user activates a
project icon, Workbench runs the application specified in the default tool
field passing it two arguments in the WBStartup message: the name of the
tool and the project icon that the user activated.
