Paste text tool

[lorenkinzel]

Recently I was re-doing my push-button recipe book that was lost in "the accident".
It brings up message boxes with recipes or a .txt file if you want to print.
I was getting really bummed about the amount of time spent with copy / paste of "@CRLF &" and "& _".
Lots & lots of lines.
After the first 4 recipes I paused & put this script together. It's not really so much a showcase of amazing coding
as of functionality & "this is a machine job, not a (insert your name) job".
Any improvements or condemnations are welcome.
