Document states that OS X's TextEdit only saves RTF
files. This is incorrect; you can make a plaintext file
by choosing 'Make Plain Text' from the Format menu.

Brett, can you verify this and, if true, add an appropriate
note to the docs.

Yes, it's true; RTF and plaintext are the two possible output.

Walrus, where exactly in the docs does it claim this?

Mac Library Modules, section 1.1.1, about halfway down.

Fixed in rev. 1.13 in 2.5, rev. 1.12.2.1 in 2.4, and rev. 1.9.6.2 in 2.3 .
Thanks, unclewalrus.
