[Bf-committers] OSX, python and paste

Don't have this problem... but I only use TextEdit and ProjectBuilder  
(with latter set to unix endings).

Anyone can code this!

Press dot key or the file with name '.'.
Blender refreshes only when it has saved itself. This was useful for  
networks we found out...
