I can't help you.  Something's broken, 'cause on my machine,
double-clicking on a type TEXT and creator ttxt fires teachtext right
up.

>1. How to save a ttro(ttxt) document in TeachText?

I don't know.  I use ResEdit.  ttro probably stands for teach text read
only, 'cause you can't edit those documents, only look at them.

I don't know.  It should work.  Rebuild the desktop?  

>3. Why should there be two types of documents owned by Teachtext anyway?

One for read-only documents, one for documents you can edit with
teachtext.  Seemed obvious to me...

'welcome.  Sorry I can't be more help with your first problems. 
Suggestions: do you have more than one copy of teachtext on your drive? 
I'd have only one.  If teachtext is already open, it can't open another
document.  So the finder gives you a message like "open that document
from within teachtext".  Hope it helps,
