   I'm writing software for the Mac via Lisa Pascal, and I'm wondering
whether I can create MacWrite data files and have my programs operate
on the data in those files. Has anyone tried this? I vaguely recall
reading a message about doing this from MacPascal - can a similar
procedure (whatever it is - please let me know) be applied in the Lisa
Workshop environment?
   I've tried reading MacWrite files (programmatically) but I get extraneous
characters along with the text.

Thanks,
Marvin
