I'm not sure if its possible to merge programs... but you can copy a pad and its parameters without having to write stuff down and do it manually.
Go to the program screen and press parameters... highlite the note/pad number at the top of the screen and press open window... then specify to which program/pad you'd like to copy the pad parameters to/from and hit do it and you're all set.
