these files are in 'TEXT' format but they may have different file type
s
to facilitate their selection in BP2's load/save operations. These types are
documented on-line: click "Types-creator
s"
in the "Frequently Asked Questions" dialog.
BP2

save it as "ASCII" or "pure text". Then retrieve it under BP2 using the "load
any file" option: type cmd-o with the option key down.
