Hi Everyone,

I 'm sorry if I have the incorrect subject Header but I saved the info to my
datadrawer of email stuff I find interesting but only saved the message without
the headers. So I do not know the name of the chap who sent the query.

Here is his message: 

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?

Here is my answer:

The same thing happened to me.
I had TextInput.mcc v26.4 in the Workbench:Mui/Libs/Mui drawer.
I replaced it with version 13.49 from the Microdot/Mui drawer and it now works
properly.

The MDII drawer also has TextInput.mcp v13.49
and TextInputScroll.mcc v13.49

The Workbench:Mui/Libs/Mui drawer had these same two files but v26.2 and v26.4
I replaced these too those from the MDII drawer but don't know if this had a
bearing also in solving  the problem.

Cheers

Bill
