The following should get pretty close to what you want to do:

 - Create a new mode directory in StrED_cfg.UserPrefs.Modes

 - Inside it create a ModeWhen file that will load all the target files
   into this new mode. Eg if your files are in directory X then make a
   rule: *, **.X.*

 - Open a new StrongED window and enter the line (without quotes):
   'OnLoad<tab>EndOfText InsertStr("%CO:K,12,0%") SaveText'
   Save the file as 'ModeFile' in the new mode directory.

 - Drag the files (or the directory they're in) to StrongED's iconbar
   icon. They should all be loaded, altered and saved automatically.

Make sure you have a backup though as I only did the briefest of testing
on this. You may have to play around with the InsertStr command to get
exactly what you want.

Cheers,

Fred.
