Could just use an external notepad. I keep a .txt file open for each game I'm playing and note bits down.

Maybe its the difference between a linux game and a windows game. Windows people seem used to having games that take over the entire machine so they want all the goodies to be inside the game.

I think its bad to add things to the game that are easily done externally. Some of the requests Ive seen would have had notepad, winamp, paint, an alarm, a backup system, screen capture, and voip.

I would settle on notepad - or a possibility to copy to it from game (a possibility to copy to paiont could also be useful, when I think about it... ). All other things I can do from the same windows...

Certainly! I sometimes even use an actual scrap of paper! But this could be made much more easy if there were a possibility to just copy some messages via a system copy routine...
