I'm realizing this answer assumed you are using XeTeX on Mac OS X,  
which may not be the case. Sorry for that, I haven't yet fully  
integrated the cross-platform nature of XeTeX. Thus, in case you're  
not using Mac OS X, the TextEdit tip won't help, and the use of  
OpenType-info.tex is the only solution.

The XeTeX sample files are available as a separate download from  
<http://scripts.sil.org/xetex_download>, in the form of the archive  
XeTeX_doc.zip.

By the way, it seems this archive hasn't been updated to reflect the  
changes in the doc and sample files included in the Mac disk image  
XeTeX_0993.dmg.
