OK. I should have checked the Mac One Liners file for this. Anyways,
thanks to all who responded. (I hope I didn't miss anyone. There may
still be some messages in transit.)

Cheers,
Norm

----- Summary -----

TeachText files with type 'ttro' are read-only. (However, these
files will not appear in the open-file dialog of most programs that
operate only on TEXT type files.)

Multiple fonts and graphics can be embedded in TeachText files by
including PICT resources in the files. To understand how this works,
read the following quote from Larry Rosenstein:

   To add pictures to a TeachText file you need to put a
   non-breaking space (option-space) character into the text. 
   Each time TeachText sees this character it displays a PICT
   resource.  The IDs for the PICT resource begin at 1000 and
   go up from there.  You have to insert enough blank lines to
   leave space for the picture.
