The Help file in TextPad details how to transfer preferences, but does not include Windows XP. I tried it anyway, but it didn't work. Does anyone have a suggestion as to moving TestPad Preferences from Win-NT, Win-98SE, etc to Win-XP? Thanks in Advance (When are we going to see a Linux version of ...
