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

I hate it when a FAQ/A peters out without resolution. So, because TextPad is my absolute favorite ASCII editor, I spent some time playing with Tidy.exe, and figuring out how to make it work in TextPad, with and without an external configuration file. (Below I have used 'single quotes' to delimit ...

Thanks for your help.

If anyone else has any suggestions, please jump in...

Thanks for such a rapid response.
I changed my Parameter setting to:
-config "C:\Program Files\TextPad 4\Samples\TidyCfg.txt" -errors -quiet $File
(Note the use of quotes around the path. They were necessary to stop TextPad from dividing the path, and then reporting errors, at the spaces in the path ...

I have set up HTML Tidy as per http://textpad.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4768 and it works fine. In other words, it reports the errors and warnings, and I can dbl-Click a Warning right to the offending line. However, I would like to use the Tidy-Config file option to use more than the default ...
