   I thought I did that in the "the problem is" paragraph.  Did I forget to   
   mention something ?  If so, what ?   
      
   I even summed it up in the "question:" paragraph.

   No thanks.  I already did that.

   It also attracts a number of people who have no problem replacing my   
   question with what they decide I /really/ wanted to know - and than waste   
   their and my time with solving problems I never had (and get all pissed-off   
   when I mention it).   
      
   But, if you think you know I have a preconception somewhere in there than I   
   would like to hear it.

   :-)  I've had it way to many times the other way around.  Including people   
   questioning my decision to have a newspaper with me to begin with, and than   
   going off on tangents to what they think the best replacement for it is or   
   even how stone tablets where way superior. :-(   
      
   To re-phrase my initial post :   
      
   I've noticed that WorPad refuses to open a document (with new content) when   
   it already has that document open (but is showing the old, now gone(!)   
   content).   
      
   Is there a commandline switch to override that behaviour and either open the   
   document in a new window, or (preferrably) re-load the document.   
      
   Thats all I need to know.   If that doesn't exist I'm going to work my way   
   thru a few alternatives myself first.
