That explains the graphics, but what about the fonts?  I've seen Apple
`Read Me' files that contain italics amd boldface in them.  How do I
get the same effects in my TeachText documents?

And I seem to remember there being something about a special mode of
TeachText in which it actually gives you another menu for adding PICT
resources.  How do I get this menu?
