Is there a way to copy existing document classes to a new document class? Once I have my highlighting set I would like to duplicate it for multiple document classes without having to set them over and over again.

I think you may have to export from registry, make copies, edit as needed, and import results back to registry.

Settings in: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Helios\TextPad 4\Document Classes\ClassName

Just one possible hack:
1. Create a .reg class, see http://textpad.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4956
2. Export the class you want to copy from Regedit.exe, find "helios" or
"textpad 4" gets you there
3. Edit the exported .reg file with TP to change the name of the class
4. Merge it into the registry
Repeat steps 3 and 4 as needed.
I tested this for just one class so be careful if you decide to do this,
ie. back up your registry file!

But Bob did not remember about using the REG class.
