Hello Skye... You've received a number of suggestions with no luck. Perhaps you could be more specific about your definition: Textpad has a unique way of "remembering" my cursor position as I advance through a document. Perhaps if we had a clear example explained we can be more successful?...

The Sort issue may be normal based on highlighted text. I have noticed that Sort is ghosted out if I have selected one or more characters on a line, and Block Select mode is off. If more than one line is selected, then Sort is available. That seems normal. If not selecting more than one line, there ...

Is the space really necessary?

If you just press Enter without the space, you will go directly to the next line at the same first column as the line above. If all your data entry starts in column 1, won't this work for you?

what does the %1 at the end mean? It is just a wild card that represents the selected file name. Note from the TextPad Help File, Command Line Parameters that the correct syntax for TextPad is -u filename. -u filename: Open the file, whose name can contain spaces, but does not need to be quoted.
