Shoebox 5 database file (textedit) for toolbox windows

[Gary Holton]

Leslie,

I pass shoebox files back and forth between mac and pc regularly.  
Usually there is no problem with the actual db file, but sometimes  
the other miscellaneous settings  files ( .typ, .lng) need to have  
the text encoding changed.  In textedit, choose Save As, then under  
"Plain Text Encoding" choose "Western (Windows Latin 1)". That should  
do it.
