You can read files in Classic, but as the file paths are different, you
need to use the revMacFromUnixPath function to translate your file
paths. I haven't got the scripts handy at the moment, but I worked all
this out a while ago. I'll look them up this evening and post an
example tomorrow, but it CAN be done, although I too used to think
otherwise.

works fine in classic! that is the most basic thing a program can do!
Is this a bug?
And this of course does not address the printing differences noted in
OSX. Why would any of that be different?

3. The OS 9 stanalone is worse - the grey lines show up in print,
but no text gets loaded into the table field for editing. Another
button that loads text from the clipboard works, but loading from a
file doesn't - only on the OS9 standalone.
Are you testing the OS 9 standalone on an OS 9 machine or using
Classic with OS X? If you are using Classic then reading files will
not work. It works fine if running under OS 9 however.
