I see your point. My opinion is the "Unimportant, even if..." item is close to what you mean.

Best five poll-option texts

I'm curious what people think the text of both the question and five-options, for the "official" poll. I've recommended this: How important is it to you, to have this feature implemented into future versions of TextPad? --Important, even if the size/efficiency of TextPad increases/degrades...

Hi, dcantor. The "official five option polls" and their relative rankings, here in our humble little Enhancement Suggestion forum, have nothing directly to do with TextPad folks. Just us TextPad-jazzed forum users. As stated in the relative rankings thread , the five options can say anythi...

I should say that I tried UltimaShell for a few days, and I didn't like it at all. Honestly, it's been a while, so I can't remember many specifics, but it was not worth fifty bucks. Auto-complete should be based upon (1) Syntax file keywords, (2) Most frequently- and/or recently-used words, (3) A li...

I should say...I wonder if TextPad could be given some sort of plugin-able interface to accept some not-so-different file formats, such as VMS.

I know this is not the answer you are looking for, but since you obviously have the talent and knowledge to do so... Consider using your Perl script to actually convert the file back and forth, VMS-->ASCII, use it in TextPad, ASCII-->VMS. You could probably make this relatively convenient via two ba...

Suppress syntax coloring during multiple macro playback

Especially when playing back a macro repeatedly (to end of file/through selection/Specified number of times), syntax coloring greatly slows the playback down.

Jeffy, what about a little BBCode in your table? I don't think BBCode is possible within a CODE tag. I'd love to be proven wrong.

Right clicking on a file in the open dialog, and then selecting TextPad, works just fine for me.
