John There are a couple of ways you can handle this, either you store the files in a database as a TEXT blob, or as a temporary file somewhere.
And you can identify your users with request.user if they have to have an account, or request.session.session_key if they don't, the session_key is the cookie. For either to work the client has to accept cookies. The temporary file approach will required a database table to link the file name to the user. I have used all of these and they all work well. If you need the text to be persistent across sessions I would store it in a database, if it is around for an hour then just store it in a temporary file. And make sure you have a process to delete old data. Finally you could also compress the text when you save it. Hopes this helps.
