OK, gents & ladies! I'm gonnna disagree with both Glenn & Michael.
I don't want a button for External Editor (nor for Edit Help).
I don't want a Hotkey for External Editor.
What I want is a code rewrite which slots in the editor using a
variable; the default value of the variable would be the built-in editor
{which, IMNSHO, should be separated from main Arachne code into own COM}
*but* set-up [and modifying a line in Arachne.Cfg file] would allow
changing that variable to the path for external editor.
Look, Norton Commander allowed that sort of thing 10 years ago ... so it
can't be that difficult. Arachne could do it even better than NC, since
with it you have to remember to put in an "!" to pass the name/location
of file being edited.
