View 'source' from browsers

Post by Jack the Mundane »

Does anyone know how to 'nicely' set TextPad as the default viewer when you ask the web browser to "View source".

Now, before you think that I am too much of an idiot, I have set the browser's program path to TextPad, and it opens Textpad and sends the source. But I get new instances of TextPad for each "View source".

So my question really is, "Is there a way to send a source page from a web browser to an already open instance of TextPad?"

Do I need DDE for this, and if so, where and how do you implement?

Thanks

Have you got 'allow multiple instances to run' unchecked in prefs? TP should manage the rest.
