Text:  Teach should automagically launch when you double-click on a text
file.  EGO Systems' EGOEd or EGOEd Lite gives you the same functionality
in an NDA.  Sorry, I don't know how to reach EGO Systems (I bought EGOEd
Lite second-hand)

Sound:  Finder Sounder (not sure where I got it; it might be one of the
goodies that was preloaded on my Focus-20 HD) will play the sound file
when you double-click on it.

Graphics:  I don't remember what it is called, but there is an INIT that
will do this as well.  I downloaded it from Caltech ages ago, but it has
been a long time since I used it...I don't actually do that much graphic
stuff...

: #4  Can I add sounds to IIgs system?

Yes...there are GS sound libraries available; you can build a no-slot
digitizer card without too much trouble; and there are programs out there
(though I don't have 'em) to convert sounds from other more common formats.

: #5  I would like a program that will play MIDI files, or other sound files 
: why the Desktop is shown, or maybe the whole time the computer is running.

Hmmm...Tricky, put probably possible...unfortunately beyond my knowledge...
