The tokens, and the accompanying numbers, are defined by the programmer.
They can be discovered by using the GEOSDUMP utility, which can be found
at ftp://ftp.biostat.washington.edu/pub/zoomer/geosdump.zip (among other
places).
I'm not sure yet what the numbers mean (perhaps someone with the SDK can
clue us in).
GEOS keeps a token database which, among other things, lets the File Manager
know what icons to use with data files (the first token/number pair in the
filenameTokens lines); I suspect it also cross-references the tokens with
the GEOS apps.
As to how it finds them, I *suspect* that it searches WORLD and its
subdirectories for the file that matches the token in the database,
but this is pure conjecture.
