First off, i would suggest dumping IIS and downloading Apache (free).

I take it that you mean a text box rather than a text box.

This can't be achieved on the client-side, you'll need to use a
server-side language such as Perl or PHP. Perl would be my choice as
working with text files is very simple. If you choose to go down the
perl route, email me a moc.cam@amsev (the address is 'tnorf ot kcab')
and i'll knock you up a few lines of code to do what you want.
Ta,
