When you say that he does things in MacWrite, how does he save the file?
He needs to save the file as "Text Only" or "Text Only With Line Breaks"
(these are the MS Word save option names).  The native file format for
MacWrite or Word is no-doubt garbage-looking.

Also, he needs to make sure that he is using an error-correction
protocol if he is sending over noisy lines and if the CompuGraphic
supports it.
