Hi Jim, > You can modify the code code to do this. Still it seems easier to use a batch wrapper? Also, because EDIT has so few preferences, how about a command line option to set all of them, overriding the prefs file, in case you do prefer recompiling EDIT? ;-) Regards, Eric ---

[Freedos-user] Global preferences for EDIT

2018-07-15 Thread David McMackins
I would like to save my settings for EDIT in such a way that they take effect everywhere. Seems to me, when I choose to save, it puts a file in the current directory, and the settings only work when launching from that directory. Is there a way to do this? Happy Hacking, David E. McMackins II Su
