What would be far superior then the iframe, javascript and all is if you
server supports PHP, and many do. Just do the page in PHP and have it
inset the text file with an include...
news.php:
<html>
<head><title>karate club news</title></head>
<body>
<h1>What's happening at the karate club</h1>
<pre>
<?php
include_once('news.txt');
?>
<p>Rest of page</p>
</body></html>
then all you buddy has to do is edit the 'news.txt', no iframes,
javascript, or html experience on you buddy's part need.

Take care,
