uuuh, may I ask what operating system you use? Not only would this be essential for recommending software, but if you are running windows, I'm almost 100% certain that you have Notepad on there somewhere, especially if it's 2000/XP/Vista where it's a protected operating system file
Also, this thread is more suited for tech talk.

i guess notepad+ would be a suitable replacement to notepad if you can't get a copy for whatever reason.

I'm running XP, but I must have accidentally deleted notepad
Another question: how do you configure the number of characters per line in Notepad+ I've been looking around, but can't find anything
(can you tell I'm not very savvy with this stuff?

uuuh no, either you are mistaken, or you are lying and purposely removed it. You can't just "accidently" remove notepad.exe, it's protected. If you "accidently" delete it, it'll just pop right back up. For shits and giggles do this:
1. hold windows key + R
2. type in "notepad" and press enter
3. ????
4. Profit!
I am almost certain that notepad will pop up like usual, but enh notepad sucks anyways ;/ I use <a href=http://www.liquidninja.com/metapad/>Metapad</a> for my text editing needs.

I honestly don't know of any text editing programs that force word wrap on a specific character limit, if there is, I'd like to know!
