I understand that PSPad's editor component does not allowing switching from text
to a true hex mode.  In addition, you cannot switch from the true hex mode back
to text.  To improve the situation, I suggest the following:

-Allow switching between text and true hex mode (and back) by reloading the file
(to overcome the editor's limitation)
--If the file is changed, prompt to save before reloading
-Eliminate or rename the partial hex mode to avoid confusion

As an alternative, you can add an option to choose between the current method
and the file reloading method.
