Dennis No - it does set the paths on install (the instructions were just a double-check), but you need to choose which language to use as your default, rather than having to specify for each separate item. Plus you might want to set paths to modified versions if you use particular conventions, or don't use specific commands.
For example, I develop code for UniVerse, UniData, QM, jBASE and D3 all on the same UniVerse system, plus I have precompilers and scripting languages. Or you might be developing cross platform and just want the 'generic' Basic, rather than e.g. the UniVerse specific one. So that's the bit you need to set. Regards Brian Brian What you're saying then is that syntax highlighting doesn't automatically work after a virgin install? The user needs to set each of the paths to pre-existing directories that the install created? Perhaps a good idea would be to make the install update those paths since (as it is creating the Program Files subfolder BLC\mvDeveloper\etc) it already know the paths to the required files. dennis -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brian Leach Sent: 28 February 2008 07:38 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [U2] AE editor replacement [AD] Hi Dennis 1. Go into tools|settings and check the paths are correctly pointing to the syntax files. 2. In the same place, check that you have set a default language: that will match the platform you use most commonly. In my case, UniVerse BASIC. 3. mvDeveloper will then use that language definition throughout unless you override it for a specific editor window: so you could have Unidata basic in one tab, UniVerse PROC in another etc. The language definition determines the syntax highlighting, build commands, and some navigation stuff like jumping to labels, loading include files and commenting in/out code.
