How to configure TextPad so that ASC file behaves like TXT

I have configured TextPad 8 to open plain text files that have the file extension .ASC.
TextPad 'overrides' Notepad of course.

If a (plain text) file is created, no name at this stage, then saved as .ASC rather than .TXT, the word-wrapping and very convenient property that TextPad has, to display a URL in blue, are lost.

Is there a way to make a .ASC file behave exactly like a .TXT file and with multiple files within the same instance (ie, multiple tabs), for each to comply with the settings in use at the time?

(hope I have explained this OK)

Add *.ASC to the files in class Text, here:
Configure | Preferences | Document Classes > Text | Files in class Text
