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. ----- Contributers ----- Aron Roberts Larry Rosenstein (care of Aron Roberts) Dave Platt Freek Weidijk Wayne Folta -- Norman Graham Oklahoma State University Internet: norman@a.cs.okstate.edu Computing and Information Sciences UUCP: {cbosgd, rutgers} 219 Mathematical Sciences Building !okstate!norman Stillwater, OK USA 74078-0599
