I think I know what the problem is. In line 1492 of runabc.tcl, replace $abcfile with [list $abcfile].
I shall put a new version of runabc with this fix today. > Date: Thu, 13 Mar 2003 12:57:06 -0800 (PST) > From: Donald White <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: [abcusers] runabc external editor > > - --0-857431857-1047589026=:95404 > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii > > Has anyone here tried to use an alternative editor with the runabc.tkl frontend? > The default editor works just fine, but beyond syntax highlighting it is pretty > brain dead. > > I like the convenience of having all of my abc tools access through a front end like > runabc, but I would like to use a more powerful editor.
