A "plain" plain text file is just that - text. With Notepad, you have
to tell him to set the font to something like "Courier New" or
"Terminal" to get an monospaced font. With Wordpad, the text is saved
in RTF (RichText Format) and the font name is saved in the file. And
with Word, well Word's just plain silly like that.
