Put this is your pScriptPad -

{LeadingSpaceDelete::
/&runtimeInit[]
/0x1C
/xEpro f
/xEpro T/xEpro W/xEpro R/xEpro r
/p10/p32
/xEpro f
/&script$[@@LSD0@@]}
{LSD0::
/&ifAbort@[$&==0]
/&ifScript@[$&!=0,@@LSD1@@]}
{LSD1::
/xEpro f
/xEpro T/xEpro W/xEpro R/xEpro r
/p10/p32
/&script$[@@LSD2@@]}
{LSD2::
/&tap i[080,080]
/&script$[@@LSD3@@]}
{LSD3::
/p10
/xEpro f
/&script$[@@LSD4@@]}
{LSD4::A
/&script$[@@LSD5@@]}
{LSD5:: d}

    and, change the last line of SPdelete to read -

{SPd6:: d
/&script$[@@LeadingSpaceDelete@@]}

Now when you run SPdelete it will also remove all leading spaces,  
*except* if there is a leading space in the very first topmost line of  
the memo.  That one you'll need to remove manually (I could make the  
pScript do it but it adds a lot of complexity for one space at a known  
location).
