If you change it before you save it, this would be even more of a test ?

OK, if the text frame (which shows its name at the left of its menu
frame) is empty, then it means you have opened a 'null' file.
I.e. mouse was pointing to a token like "boxes" which is not the 
name of a current file.

Well the "Tutorial" and/or "Docu" are just text files the same as 
V24.Mod . If you managed to open and read V24.Mod , then do the
same with some of the *.Text files.

Method 1. Eg. use Edit.Open <fileName>.Text , where you
execute (i.e. Mid-Mouse on the command "Edit.Open") and fill
in the actual <fileName> as it appears in your directory listing.

2. Alternatively (and better - less error prone, time wasting typing),
you select one or more characters from the begining of the 
<fileName> .Text immediately in your directory listing.

3. Alternatively (and best) just point at the <fileName> .Text
in your directory listing (or any appearance of the file name)
and do: mid-press, right-press, mid-release.

If the opened text frame's lines 'overflow', then it needs 
Script.Open ^   or Desktops.OpenDoc ^   instead of Edit.Open ^
------------------

As I remember some tutorial files are available before you
un-archive the main set of tutorials - using the provided
de-archiver.  Look for something like Arc.Tool - it's different
with alpha, and I've forgoten how beta was.
