With the new requirement for including a text file
with all items posted to the dropbox, it has become
apparent the a fair number of people are confused
by the "plain text" requirement. To assist these
people a new page has been added to explain:

http://www.metalworking.com/dropbox-text-help.html

It primarily describes Windows systems. The hints
should also work for Apple users of Microsoft Word.

I am hoping that Linux and Unix users are less likely
to need help and have provided no hints for them.

You could always create a blank template which could be modified
(containing the things you consider the basic requirements for such a file).
