Thanks Paul. - I wonder if there is a way to get a script to pass the required parameters immediately AFTER opening leafpad, even though it appears they can't be passed at the time of initial execution? 
Also - I have just noticed that in Precise 5.5 leafpad opens with wordwrap already enabled so I will scout around and see if I can see how that is done. 
EDIT :I think I have found how it's done in Precise 5.5 
If I open the hidden file /root/.config/leafpad/leafpadrc I see the following: 
Code:
0.8.18.1 
671 
450 
Monospace 12 
1 
0 
0
and it seems to be the "1" below "monospace 12" which determines if wordwrap is on or not. 
I have just tried modifying this in a different puppy and it works! 
There is no doubt some other way this can be achieved too, so any info/guesses welcome!

I'd like to indent 4 spaces by pressing Tab in leafpad or preferably globally.
Can this be done?

start leafpad by:
leafpad --tab-width=4
to Make leafpad always act like this edit as root the leafpad.desktop file at /usr/share/applications
Change line:
Exec=leafpad %f
to
Exec=leafpad --tab-width=4 %f

>> I used this for :
$ leafpad --tab-width=3  "/media/pi/Lexar/NCAA-D-17-01541/NCAA-D-17-01541 m Li, Zhang, Li, Zhang - Global asymptotical stability, nonautonomous impulsive inertial NNs with unbounded time-varying delay.txt" &

How to make the tab character 4 spaces instead of 8 spaces in nano?
If you use nano with a language like python (as in your example) it's also a good idea to convert tabs to spaces.
Edit your ~/.nanorc file (or create it) and add:
set tabsize 4
set tabstospaces
If you already got a file with tabs and want to convert them to spaces i recommend the expandcommand (shell):
expand -4 input.py > output.py
