Modifying Display of Text Window in WYSIWYG (CLEditor) v 1.3.1 in v2.1 stable

Hi all,
Versions of everything relevant are in the subject line. (I suspect "This Will be a Job for Super @vrijvlinder", but I'll ask out here.)
I have a problem with people copy/pasting 20-page word .doc syllabi directly into the text window and then wondering why the forum chokes on it or formats it terribly or cuts off the last 7 pages.
Now, I could just switch to button bar, which would ignore all that formatting BS and put in raw text, but the Powers That Be really want the formatting options the way they are right now.
So I've decided on the "soft" option of a stern warning, informing people to keep the copy-pasting down to ~10 pages at max, attach larger files to the post, as Dog intended, and don't come crying to me when they ignore these instructions and everything goes haywire. (See example, below.)
Basically, I would like the warning to appear in the location specified, but I have to admit that I haven't been able to figure out how to put any text in that area.
SO: if anyone even has a general suggestion about which file I need to edit - something to get me started in the right direction - I'd appreciate it.

Peregrine made a plugin for this I believe ... You can also add text or anything by using JavaScript .append or . prepend I am on mobile but you can see how I did it by checking out the index plugin which has the jquery to append the menu. You would find the text form element you wish to append and use that instead of menu.

However - if you want a warning message like so.

like so:
e.g. in conf/locale.php
<?php if (!defined('APPLICATION')) exit(); $Definition['Discussion Instructions'] = '<div class="Warning">Please use file attachments if you are posting more than 8000 characters in a discussion. There is a maximum number of 8000 characters allowed in post </div>'; $Definition['Comment Instructions'] = '<div class="Warning">Please use file attachments if you are posting more than 8000 characters in a comment . There is a maximum number of 8000 characters allowed in post</div>';works with all editors I tried. I think it is an overlooked plugin, that is actually pretty handy.
