>TextPal 1.3 released on June 15, 2006.  Fixed Home Character command 
>(Alt+Home).  Fixed searching for certain punctuation symbols.  Made Print
>command more reliable.  Improved scrolling in a maximized window or 
>large file.
>
>The installer now defaults to the system drive, which is usually, 
>but not necessarily, the C drive.  Recent files are sorted 
>chronologically, and
>favorite files alphabetically.  When a file is opened, TextPal looks 
>for a bookmark, and if found, initially goes there.  Brace matching 
>commands are
>more intelligent, e.g., if [ is the current character and Control+B 
>is pressed, TextPal searches for a matching ] character, regardless 
>of the default
>setting for brace characters.  The Path List command, 
>Control+Shift+P, lets you change the current directory before 
>generating output.
>
>Control+Shift+H is a new command for reformatting text with hard 
>line breaks, the reverse of Control+Shift+W, which wraps lines.  Use the File
>Find command, Alt+Shift+F, to pick from a list  of files containing 
>a string you specify.  Alt+Shift+I toggles a mode in which TextPal 
>alerts you to
>changes in indentation when reading with the up and down arrow keys.
