Default Notepad reversing or mirroring data

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?

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.
