How do I get this menu? Find a version 1.1 of TeachText (created Oct. 8, 1987) and change its creator from 'ttxt' to 'ttxx'. When you run it next, a new menu called Tools will appear that automatically pastes in pictures from the clipboard. Use an Option-Space for creating the special space character that defines the top of the picture. This menu also has some other functions, like saving the document as a 'ttro'. If you want to go in to a document previously saved as read-only (ttro), you'll need to change it to a 'TEXT' document first. There are a few other minor bugs when using this hidden mode of TeachText (like it crashes for no reason) so save often. Andy Peterman
