To add pictures to a TeachText file you need to put a non-breaking space 
(option-space) character into the text.  Each time TeachText sees this 
character it displays a PICT resource.  The IDs for the PICT resource 
begin at 1000 and go up from there.  You have to insert enough blank lines 
to leave space for the picture.

To make a TeachText file read-only, change its creator to 'ttro'.
