In respect to this, you should know that the T and U are the ASCII
equivalents of the curly-quotes.  You can't display them on your screen as
text unless you're using a Mac or GS (they use the same Option-Characters
for curly quotes in most cases), so you need to convert them to standard
ASCII, which is the T and the U.

Point Blank: It's NOT a bug in System 6.01, it's an undocumented hardware
feature! <j/k grin>

:"GWP" is not a specific file type - it is a generic filetype for
:IIgs-specific word processors.  The auxiliary type inidicates exactly
:what type of file it is.

I don't think GWP is for TeachText dox, it's for GraphicWriter documents. 
Not sure, though.

Hope that helps! :)
