Stuarts suggestion has merit, and if you decide you want something else
some day, put in the ini file.
Thats not a bad idea, but why limit it to first run. Its proably about
the same amount of coding to add a "choose editor" to the file pulldown.
When I hit Alt F,E I want to be in my editor, not scrolling around
trying to find it. I use the keyboard for almost everything.
That way the new user could try whats available and settle on something
that works for them.
But since names are arbitrary, how do we limit the choices presented
to "real" editors?
That could be a conundrum. Could the file utility help to ID the
candidates for the list shown? IDK, never tried it for that.
Gene, you are going down a rabbit hole with all this. Pick an editor and
use it.
I have been using gedit since it was the default and NEVER had it do
something strange. I believe it was the default back in the EMC1 days
with the BDI installs. That puts it back to around 2002
