Hi David!

As far as I remember, EDIT does not have much settings to store: So if you would introduce an environment string which points to a global settings file, it would probably be easier to put the actual settings in the string instead. You could write a batch file which makes sure to always start EDIT in the same current directory :-) With a bit of extra trickery, you could still start "EDIT2 foo.txt", where foo.txt is in YOUR current directory and return to that directory when you leave EDIT, while EDIT2 (dot bat) makes sure that for EDIT itself, the working directory is the one where you want the EDIT settings file to reside :-) PUSHD, POPD, CD and CDD might help. Maybe somebody with good batch skills could post a proof of concept edit2 batch file to demonstrate the idea? Thanks!
