MUI 3.8
Textinput.mcc 26.5
This problem became evident in Microdot, and I tested it subsequently
in the main MUI Preferences program as well. Any advice would be
appreciated.
1) I have a textinput.mcc open.
2) I click on the external editor button. In the settings, the editor
is set up as <path>/CygnusEd/Ed -sticky and the synchronous editing
checkmark is ticked.
3) The editor loads up, with the contents of whatever was in the
textinput window.
4) I edit the file, Save and Quit.
5) CED closes, system goes back to the textinput window which un-greys
itself out and becomes editable again. However, the contents are
exactly the same as they were before editing.
6) I click on external editor again, edit the file again in the
external editor, Save and Quit again.
7) Again, the contents of the textinput.mcc field remain unchanged.
8) I can continue trying the external editor ad infinitum, but any
changes done in the editor are not carried over to the textinput
field.
I suspect this may not be a bug in textinput.mcc itself, as I believe
I *had* it working properly a few times, so it must be possible to get
it to work. The below seems to work, so I don't think it's a CED
problem:
21.BOOT:> echo >RAD:test Test
21.BOOT:> WORK:Utilities/Text/CygnusEd/Ed -sticky RAD:test
<CLI waits while I edit file>
21.BOOT:> type RAD:test
Test
Testing.
21.BOOT:>
Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?
