I see the following entry in the launch services database...

        --------------------------------------------------------
        type    id:            2886270976
                uti:          public.assembly-source
                description:  assembly source code
                flags:        exported  active  core  apple-internal
                icon:
                conforms to:  public.source-code
                tags:          .s
        --------------------------------------------------------

...which was "submitted" by...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
bundle    id:            411042048
   path:          /Volumes/OS1/System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle
   name:          CoreTypes
   identifier:    com.apple.coretypes
   version:      121
   mod date:      3/24/2007 23:06:23
   type code:    'BNDL'
   creator code:  'macs'
   sys version:  0

   item flags:    container  package  can-set-extension-hidden  native-app

   exec inode:    0
   container id:  3288399872

   --------------------------------------------------------

It looks like that entry should be extended to list at least .asm files.

However it looks like Xcode "submits" the following...

   --------------------------------------------------------
   type    id:            3291480064
       uti:          public.assembler-source
       description:  Assembler Source File
       flags:        exported  active  apple-internal
       icon:
       conforms to:  public.plain-text
       tags:          .s, .asm
   --------------------------------------------------------

...which in theory should result in what you want.

Oh I just noticed this was on the Cocoa-Dev list which I believe is
off topic for this discussion. I wont post further on this topic to
this list.

(note the above is from a 10.4 system using Xcode 2.5, not looked at
my Leopard system)
