I have a few questions pertaining to development of software on the Mac while
using TML Pascal (though these issues are not TML Pascal dependent).

	1) How can I perform i/o to a specified window?  For example, I want 
	   to have a particular window be an "interactive dialog window".  Or,
	   I want to display a text data file which I just read in.  I'd like to
	   do this using the writeln, write, etc functions provided by the
	   language.  Do I have to use the TE package for textual output to a
	   window?  No where in IM is this "basic" issue addressed (other than
	   loading a TErecord with the text, etc).

	2) How can I turn a MacPaint file into a PICT resource?  And then read
	   in this resource and display the picture in a grafport (i.e. window).

	3) How can I find out about the 3D QuickDraw functions/procedures?  
	   Where is this stuff documented?  If it's in software supplements from
	   Apple, does anyone have the proper address?

Sorry if these questions are way basic.  Any information would be greatly 
appreciated.  Thanks in advance.
