I installed the 64-bit version of TextPad 9.6.0 a few days ago, and have encountered a couple of problems with which I would like some help.
The original problem was when editing a saved newspaper .html file:

Thanks; I wasn't aware of that.

I'm still on TextPad version 9.0.1 64-bit, and I can't find any sign of the "Manage History Lists" on the Configure Menu (or anywhere else, for that matter).
