I use Textmate and Mac OS 10.5. How do I make Mac OS display a Textmate  
file icon in Finder view by deafult?

If you just want double clicking such a file to open in textmate then  
show the info window for any .erb file in the window and use the  
change all button.  
As far as the icon (ie just the cosmetic side of things), you’ll  
probably need to edit Textmate’s Info.plist file to indicate that  
the .erb extension/UTI has appropriate icon/type.
