I like text pad very much specially for proof of concept testing.
But I would like to offer an idea for improvement.
Problem:
I know I can add jar files to jre/lib/ext
but I really don't want to litter this directory with different experimental jars.
Likewise the system environment variables, in my case XP, are not easy to use and too get cluttered with dire consequences.
The ability to add jars in the command line is very difficult.
The editor is very clumsy.
Solution.
I have an idea why not devise a way to add another editor for setting the class-path on the command line. Could have features to run text files so that diferent environments are set up or the ability to enable them individually. Brilliant for testing.
Or at least have a decent editor for changing the command line where it is easy to add or remove a path name/jar.
I can't see this slowing down the editor much at launch and there could be a switch to disable it if people didn't want to use this.

Have you tried using Tools to run the command lines? Macros calling paths from the Clip Library, and calling the Tools may do what you want.
