True, but irrelevant.

Also irrelevant.  This would be equally confusing in any language.

You missed my point.  To me, a "clip" is a piece of text I store on my
clipboard for pasting elsewhere in a document.  I would never on my own
have associated a feature named "*Clip*" with a dialog that
automatically prompts for parameter data, REGARDLESS of what language I'm
coding in.  The feature's name is not at all intuitive, and confused the
hell out of me, and I'm not the least experienced user in the world.

Of course, if you are already making conscious use of the "Clip" feature
in PSPad, you would know what the command "Run Clip" is likely to do. 
But for those of us who were not deliberately using this feature, and had
no idea that it just happened to be called "Clip", it's hard to find it
to turn it off.

At any rate, turning off Shift-Space did in fact solve the problem. 
Thanks.
