Getting TextPad to inform a calling program of saved files

[Kevin Rees]

I want to use TextPad as a compilation tool for a set of bespoke scripting languages in an Integrated Deveopment Environment. I can get the IDE to call TextPad with a file name, and then TextPad do its stuff with compiling, finding errors etc, but I need a way that TextPad can let the calling IDE know about the files it has generated. One option would be to try and get TextPad to send a message to the IDE whenever it saves a file, or for TextPad to keep a list of generated files which can be either passed to the IDE or stored in a file. Does anyone know whetehr you can write initiator andterminator programs for TextPad, or have any other ideas how these requirements might be met?
