Can a new Workspace be created from the command line?

I want to create new TextPad instances from a command line script. I've tried using the command: TextPad.exe "text.tws" but this creates a 0 Kb file that TextPad does not recognize as a Workspace. Can you suggest a way to create a valid Workspace from the command line?

Open TextPad. With no files open save the current session as an empty workspace (File | Workspace | Save As...).

This produces a 45-byte file:

Code: Select all

 0   ff ff 06 00 07 00 54 65  78 74 50 61 64 00 00 00   ÿÿ....TextPad...
10   00 00 00 00 00 01 00 00  01 00 00 00 00 00 00 80   ...............€
20   00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  00 00 00 00 00            .............
To create a new workspace, just copy this empty workspace into a new file.
