I said that, later on in my post.  That some was you create the files don't
add resource forks, and others do. :)

I *think* it has something to do with whether you create the file originally
on the ProDOS disk or copy it there using Finder.

I think that if you save the file directly to the ProDOS disk, you don't get
the resource fork added, but copying it adds one.  I'm not certain though.
