Scenario - catastrophic disc failure. What will I need to have done to stop me crying, "If only I had .... " so that I could fully restore Textpad with all my settings, workspaces, tweaks etc.

I have both Textpad 3 and 4 on Win98SE and I am saving the following.

Registry: I use Backupkey by Moon Software (freeware) and save everything under "Helios".

Workspaces: All *.tws files

Syntax: One *.syn file which I developed.

So what have I forgotten?

1. Click on Help
2. Click on Help Topics
3. Select the Contents tab
4. Select How to
5. Select Customize settings
6. Select "Transferring Between PC's"

I hope this helps to answer your question.
