I understand that part... that it's readable in notepad/wordpad .. however, there are no steps nor any working code in the module file.

I have made all attempts that i know of to use this module file.
1. Download/Upload - error: "invalid module file"
2. Add a Module - Tried all 3 (Template/PHP File/BB Code) without luck. This included what I suspect you are suggesting, which is copying and pasting the code from the .module file. No luck here either.
3. Add Page - none of those options work either.

Have you tried your suggested method? If you could explain the steps needed from start to finish, i can try them - but at this point, i don't think you can just paste the .module code anywhere without either referencing other files or other steps i'm just not aware of.
