Not sure what you mean. The raw diff text is right there. Needing it to be
in its own

I work at a secure installation in an inhospitable part of the US,
abandoned by sane people. In order to guard our work
product, we write out all input in longhand on legal pads, and then it is
typed into a terminal by the former file clerk who
has become Head of IT since we cannot fire him. Thus, I cannot see what
happens when I type commands. What should
I do?
