Be careful using Teach! By default it will save the files in Teach 
format. This is a forked file with the text in the data fork and the 
formatting stored in the resource fork. ProDOS 8, and 8-bit programs 
running on it, can't handle forked files at all.

You can save a plain text file by using the 'Save Copy as...' command 
and selecting Text.
