I dont get it.  The things came from unix in the first place, and
unix has this neat tool (I no its too sophisticated for the Mac :-) ) 
called cat.

Just edit and cat the bits BEFORE => the Mac, and the problem goes away.

In all seriousness, this is another example of the deficiency of the Mac
approach for non application tasks.  You DO need a command line and simple
tools every now and again
