Wow that's a hit of nostalgia, I'd completely forgotten about metapad, but I loved it back in the day.

And it's hard to believe now, but yes, support for Ctrl+S to save file was a notable feature because notepad itself didn't support that back then.

Oh wow, yes I remember now, I used to type `Alt+F` and then `S` immediately because Notepad didn't support `Ctrl+S` back then. Thanks for giving me nostalgia!

I used to overwrite c:\windows\notepad.exe with Metapad. At some point Windows security made this a pain though!
