Window -> Split?

My guess is that (almost) nobody has the same problem or knows a solution, as most users will have updated to more recent versions of textpad (4.7.3 is from 2004 - more than 15 years old ...)

when i hit ctrl-f ... the find form does not appear It cannot, since CTRL+F only finds the next occurance that depends on settings (Configure -> Preferences -> Editor -> Keystroke Compatibility). If set to "Microsoft Applications", Ctrl-F will open the Find dialog (or, if a custom binding...

The clip book does not store Unicode.

Ben, try copying the Unicode (non-ASCII-) stuff into a new clip book. Save the clip book. Leave textpad. Restart textpad. Paste from clip book to document - unicode is lost ...

If you click the link "Forums" in the orange bar on https://textpad.com, you get to https://textpad.com/forums/index.php

(on https://www.textpad.com, you get to https://www.textpad.com/forums/index.php )

forum seems to have moved from https://forums.textpad.com/ to https://textpad.com/forums/ But in some places the old host name is still active (log in/log out), thus https://forums.textpad.com/forums/ is called, which does not exist. Manually removing the forums. from that url gives the correct page...
