    Or better yet download and install notepad++ It really makes texts files easier to deal with.

    Notepad works but I've noticed that in Windows (7 specifically) sometimes t will garble all the text onto one line, because of this I turn to Textpad, but you could easily just turn to Notepad++ or any other good text editor to do this.

    Aside:
    As far as wiki instructions go, it would be cool if someone could come up with the minimum things needed and we just put that in the config and nothing else, cause a lot of stuff seems unnecessary like color of GUI and such. I think it would make the whole thing easier to understand, as at first I had problems, first trying it out of the box (which doesn't work cause it's missing some of those things listed on the wiki), then trying it with just the stuff on the wiki, which didn't work cause it needed some of the other stuff I guess, and then trying to put the wiki stuff inside the original, which worked, I assume because it needed some of both.
