Don't use Wordpad for writing code.  It's intended to be a low-end word
processor, not a code editor.  Notepad is better beacuse it doesn't do any
formatting of the text and saves it as plain text, which is the only thing
code should be saved as.  Better yet, get a programming editor like
UltraEdit, emacs, Komodo, etc -- they are designed especially for
programmers and have lots of nice little bells and whistles to help you,
like color sytax highlighting, online help, debugging, compiling, etc.
