Yes, you can use MacWrite.  When you open the file, it will recognize the file
as being text and ask you how it should treat carriage returns.  The file
will then be named Untitled, and you will have to rename it when you save
it.  You can also use MockWrite ( a shareware DA ) or other editors to
view the file.

Sure.  When you save the file in MacWrite, save it as "text only".  Then
you can send it to the IBM, and edit it using any editor that will
import standard ASCII files.
