Hi,

I did an unknown misstroke on my keyboard, and Notepad did something exotic:
it made a strange reversal of the data. I was making a crude ASCII map, and
it reversed the map, but it kept all the words in the right order!

I can't find any hints on the command to do this. I'm guessing it is some
kind of option for deploying right-to-left scripts.

Can anyone help?

Control Panel->Regional Settings->Languages tab->Details->Key Settings.

Wow! Bizarre!

Until you find out how to reverse it back in Notepad you can do it with "Ted Notepad".

The best 'real' Notepad replacement, Ted Notepad (freeware):

I don’t know about that. TNP is pretty good, but I’m quite partial to Flo’s
Notepad2 myself. (http://www.flos-freeware.ch/notepad2.html)

No you haven't, otherwise you'd have recommended JGSoft's Editpad :-)

That statement makes no sense. Read my post, I said "I've tried 'em all."
"all" includes the crap app called Editpad.

And remember, we're talking "Notepad" replacements, not "Word" replacements.
