...but NoteTab (Light, Std, or Pro), from [link|http://www.notetab.com/|http://www.notetab.com/], has a macro facility -- even in the free "Light" version -- that might do most or all of what you need. There is a "Libraries" page on the site to download pre-built macro "Clipbooks" from. And it certainly is Windows-convention-compliant; up until Windows 2000 made it harder to futz around with executable files, it offered to install a stub that calls NoteTab in MS-Notepad's place (saving a backup, naturally), so even hard-coded "ReadMe" shortcuts would start -Tab in stead of -pad. (Maybe it still tries to do that, Idunno).

Written in Delphi, of course.
