Is *.txt (or whatever the file was) associated with jEdit? If so, the
default action for text files from the directory window is to open the
file in the system-associated program. Right click and you'll get the
standard system context menu. You can send it to PSPad. If it's part of a
project, you'll get a PSPad context menu with a "Open as Text" choice.

Or, you could change the association to PSPad. However, I like to leave
notepad associated with *.txt, *.ini, etc. I like notepad for certain
things, if only because it starts up /much/ faster than PSPad and other
editors.

I agree - It would be nice to override the system default on text-type
files when actually opening them *from inside* PSPad. At least maybe it
could be a user-selectable option.
