When PSPad opens, it usually opens the tabs that were open when it closed,doesn't it?
Maybe it only opens files that were saved when it closed the last time? In any event, if you want just to have a scratchpad, why not begin a new txt file, give it a crazy name of some sort to find it again, and just copy to and from it as needed? -- <https://forum.pspad.com/read.php?2,53682,73306> PSPad freeware editor https://www.pspad.com
