where command_line_parameters is a list of command line parameters
for TextPad. (See internal on-line help for TextPad under Command Line Parameters).

Description

textpad calls the TextPad text editor,
if this editor is installed on the user's system.
The TextPad text editor is a powerful multi-purpose text editor,
available under Microsoft Windows operating environments.

Technical note

textpad assumes that the path of the TextPad executable
is stored in the global macro
$TextPad_path, unless that macro is empty,
in which case it assumes that the path of the TextPad executable
is "c:\Program Files\TextPad 8\TextPad.exe".
The user can set the global macro $TextPad_path
in the user-profile file profile.do.

Examples

. textpad create1.do
