HyperCard: Opening MacDraw 1.9.x Files

Using HyperCard to open MacDraw 1.9.x documents in MacDraw Pro 1.0v1 does not work.  (This is fixed in MacDraw Pro 1.5.)
This command should launch MacDraw Pro and open a MacDraw 1.9.x file named MDdoc:

 Open MDdoc with MacDraw Pro

Instead, it opens a blank, untitled document.

This command works correctly for all other openable file types.  For example:

 Open MW2doc with MacDrawPro

opens a file named MW2doc into MacDraw Pro, even if this file is an EPSF, TIFF, PICT, MacWrite II or any other openable file.
