I don't think so.


Following up on the hint implicit in Neil Hodgson's reply, I discovered that:
"-menucommand:1200" (without the quotes), placed as the last command
on the command line, works, at least in Windows. (1201 would view the
second buffer, 1202 the third, etc.). Lua intervention is not
required, and I'm satisfied with this.

But there's nothing in the SciTE documentation to suggest this is the
case. SciTEDoc.html badly needs rewriting. This is not the first time
I've found that what it says is misleading, or worse, wrong. Here it
says: "A few commands are currently available although this will
expand in the future. These commands are available:...." and gives a
list of only 8 commands; "menucommand" is not one of them. In fact, a
much longer list is to be found in SciTEDirector.html, and I suspect
that they all work on the command line. However, SciTEDirector.html
contains no information about what the valid arguments to menucommand
are, nor any indication of where to find them. SciTE/Scintilla is a
wonderful piece of work, and I love the editor, but the documentation
needs refactoring.

I'm not in a position to compile your extension (no C compiler), but I
look forward to trying it out when binaries appear (or it is
incorporated into the standard release.)

Thanks, GF
