Double Click Project

The goal of the Double Click Project is simply to make Double Clicking (in windows explorer) edit a .br file.

Once you have established the connection, you can double click on a .br file to launch BR! from it's regular location and then issue an EDIT command to launch your favorite editor for the corresponding BR source work file. The BR! session will wait in "Edit" mode for you to press Enter, where it will then proc in your changes. You will then be able to decide if you should Replace, do further modification or simply test the changes.

Requirements

• an Editor specified in brConfig.sys
• BR! 4.17 or higher

Never Ending Fun Section

The Shared Project's purpose is to make the ultimate double click action (or set of actions) for BR Developers

Key Points:

• Edit files easily

This is fully functioning and illustrated above.

But if you think you may have a better way, than please share!

• Load Files

• different working directory habits
• This can be done, just like the one above, only substitute the word EDIT appropriately.

• Run Files

• different running directory habits
• This can be done, just like the one above, only substitute the word EDIT appropriately.
