Opening an untitled and unsaved NotePad file via shell

[Mark E. Powell]

I can put data into a text file and open it via shell, but this method tends to leave a flotsam of files on disk, unless I recycle the file name and overwrite (which I don't want to do).

Is it possible to put data into a text file that is *not* saved to disk and has no name?  i.e. as if Note Pad were launched and text were pasted into the document?

Thanks in advance

Mark
