- Define a style that uses a non-proportional font and has no 'decorated quotes' (such as
- Courier, Courier New, Gothic etc) of size about 10pt. Then, when you're about to import a code
- file, make the style active (you may press ENTER few times to get two or more lines of the style
- and importing the code in between of these lines. Also, those decorated quotes can be turned
- on/off using the options settings (forgot the actual name, but it's there).
