There seems to be only one solution: Find myself a real plain-text editor.

Notepad no good?

I don't know if it was installed with every version of Win98, but you
could try the "edit" command in a DOS window to bring up the DOS editor.

If that still won't do and you can't find a Windows editor online that
does what you want (though I personally can't imagine what WordPad adds
to plain text editing anyway, except perhaps multiple undo cycles), there
are a lot of very well featured DOS text editors out there as well.
