What is this non-Linux OS you speak of? Wouldn't installing _any_ distro
on it solve that problem :-)

The “TextEdit” that ships with the OS seems to maintain formatting (who thought it was a good idea to match the terminal background color when pasting from a terminal into the text editor?!) - and I want plain text only.  I usually open vim in a terminal window, paste into there, then paste back, but I know there is probably a better option.

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you
gain at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his
own tail. It won't fatten the dog.
