I agree, it's one of the first things I noticed when I first used TextPad. If I'm not mistaken I think the old DOS editor "Brief" may have behaved like this too. Anyway, I've seen a few requests for other text editors to behave this way and in both cases the user has referred to this as &q...

Are you sure you're following the instructions exactly, word for word?

Helios are hosting this on a 13-year-old version of phpBB, so there's not much one can do about these sorts of problems unless they upgrade the forum software, which isn't going to happen.
