Hi, the following works for me with NotePad and the Dec2001 release:
:set -E"c:\\Program Files\\TextPad 4\\textpad \"%s\"(%d)" A couple of ":set -E" bugs were fixed after the Feb2001 release, so you may want to consider switching to using the Dec2001 release instead & (hopefully) just sidestep the problem. hth --sigbjorn btw, ":set -Enotepad" ought to work. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ernest Paquet" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, April 29, 2002 13:11 Subject: set editor problem > Dear Sirs/Mesdames: > > I teach Computer Science here at Walsh University, and am planning to teach > a new course using Haskell.
