Sure.

Procedure Start.
..Open the first one.
..While you have files to combine.
....Open it.
....Copy all the text.
....Paste to the end of the first one.
....Close that file.
..Repeat.
..Save your now combined first file.
Procedure End.


A more efficient way is not use Textpad if you know any scripting languages. Write a short program to repeatedly open one file for reading and another file - the same one - for appending and copy all the lines from one file to another until all the files are combined to one file.

Click Edit->Insert->Files or press Ctrl+Shift+V.

Or you can do it without TextPad at the command prompt:

C:\> copy source1+source2+... destination
