If the problem at hand is to simply write characters to a textfile with
MPW Pascal, and these characters are English (that is NOT Arabic,
Hebrew, Japanese, or Chinese), THEN your problem has absolutely nothing
to do with SysEnvirons, the Script Manager, or anything else that has to
do with Two Byte Characters, as that is all for international non-Roman
scripts.

What your problem DOES concern, is the fact that in MPW Pascal, a CHAR
occupies a word, which is TWO BYTES.  However, when writing CHARs to
textfiles, only a normal bytes worth is written, so your problem is
still a mystery.

Please send me more info and I'll see what I can do to help...
