  # i suggest simply looking for keywords

  # for example -- look for the keyword ALLCAPS, then find the string
  #                that follows ALLCAPS and make it caps and remove
  #                the keyword ALLCAPS

  # even simpler example -
  if result = text.match(/ALLCAPS (.+)\n/)
    word = result[1]

    new_text = text

    # sets the text to new text
    pad.text = new_text
