I guess I formed these assumptions seeing how a text editor (say
BBEdit) can open just about any file, and display 'something' from

BBEdit is not a Unicode text editor; the REALbasic EditField is. So
if you give it some text that isn't already Unicode, it has to be
converted to Unicode to be stored in the EditField.
Try opening your binary file in TextEdit as MacRoman, then saving it
out as a different encoding (say, UTF-8), and see how far that gets
you. :)
