I need help getting -tools-.txt to work on OS X Macs.

Shawn has helped me to try to get
-tools-.txt

to work on a Mac with OS X.  I appreciate all he is doing, but I can't=20=

get it to work.
  I had other versions of LW and MW (and -tools- ) on my cpu.  At=20
Shawn's suggestion, I  have gotten rid of all of them.
I even went to two other computers which had never had MW
installed on them and tried to install
MW and -tools-.txt.  Could not get -tools-.txt  to work on either of=20
them.

Has anyone made -tools.txt work on an OS X Mac?  If so, which version=20
of MW are you using?

This is what I've done:
The Microworlds application and the -tools-.txt file are located in
MicroWorlds EX folder in the Applications folder of my Mac.  Is this=20
correct?

Thanks,

Chuck Friesen

<smaller>For example, if you wanted to add "circle" and "square" to
the vocabulary , using a text editor write the following =

to circle

 pd

 repeat 360 [fd 1 rt 1]

end


to square

 pd

 repeat 4 [fd 80 rt 90]

end

=A0

Save the document as<bold> -tools-.txt</bold>=A0=A0 Place the file in =
your
MicroWorlds directory, boot (or reboot) MicroWorlds and you will have
"built-in" commands for circle and square.

Be careful not to use any existing command names for your procedures.


Please note, OS X users won't be able to use TextEdit because it
creates .rtf documents, which will not work.


I also wanted to mention to Kate that the Windows version of both Pro
and EX support MicroSoft Word's spell checker.=A0 If you have Word on
your system,<smaller> click anywhere within the text area and
choose=A0<bold> Spell...</bold> from the Text menu. The spell checker
always reads the text from the top down. If=A0 some text is selected,
the spell checking is done only on=A0 the selected text.</smaller>
