I have a program that might help: It launches a window that allows you to select files, and then runs a program using the selected files. (So it's like an external document selector).

If you could post the command line of your tool, I can configure and post the program.

This can be accomplished with a third-party scripting program such as AutoIt version 3 ; Tested with English version TextPad 4.72 and AutoIt 3.0.84 ; WinMenuSelectItem("TextPad", "", "&Search", "&Find...") WinWaitActive("Find") Send("C:") I think I posted more info about how to use AutoIt tools here ...

This is one of the top three requested features, and I hope TextPad gets this feature soon.

is also useful for a language that uses lots of labels for routines. Highlighting all words that end in colons is not currently possible, as far as I know. (Something like ^.+:$ or ^.+:[[:blank:]]*$ might work). Also, the simulation language Simscript uses a dotted notation so all of its functions ...
