Hey Scot,
What you're looking at in the .nwt file is called the Newton Streamed Object
Format", basicially a serialized version of a NewtonScript frame.
This is described in the Newton Formats 1.1 documentation, Chapter 4:
http://www.unna.org/unna/apple/documentation/developer/NewtonFormats1.1.pdf
To save yourself some time, you might want to grab a copy of the DCL source
code. It can read NSOF and output XML.
