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.
