You can change the Finder's type to APPL with ResEdit (at least under
System 6) and it can be double-clicked (You have to do this using a real
Mac, of course).
However, I've just tried this with the Finder from System 6.0.7 and the
result won't run under Executor 1.99q12; after the warning about not
being 32-bit clean is dismissed, Executor displays the Z cursor and hangs
forever.

Not AFAIK, but you can pass the name of a program to run on Executor's
command line (see docs for more details).

It would if it worked (see above).
