CommandLine options for Textpad

I can launch a single file to open with Textpad via commandline, but I was hoping to be able to launch multiple with out using a second windows API call. I have tried looking for help topics in textpad, but this is a little more advanced than the help listings and may not even be possible.

Anyone?

Currently it is:

c:\>textpad <file to open>

assuming the path is setup correctly.

Thanks,

Stephen.

Nevermind...

Seems you can enable this in preferences....

Yes, this can be configured - I think because of the fact that some people want to be able to open files like

c:\program files\whatever.txt
(i.e. with spaces in the name)
without using quotes around it.

This could be ambigous - are the two files (c:\program, files\whatever.txt) to be loaded or just one (c:\program files\whatever.txt)...

So the user can decide via preferences which version he wants.

Just load all the files, then click on WORKSPACES and SAVE.

Then you can just load the entire workspace at once... it's much easier...
