Editor

Many editors are supported for BR! Source code.

The purpose of the EDITOR statement is to identify the program used by the EDIT command.

Editor "editor-program" [ REMOVE ] [NOWAIT]

While the Editor specification is normally placed within a BRCONFIG.SYS file, it can also be specified with the Config command or within a program line using the Execute statement to issue the Config command.

Examples

An Editor Statement could be typed in the command console like:

 Config Editor "C:\Program Files\NotePad++\NotePad++.exe"

Or added to BRConfig.sys like:

 Editor "C:\Program Files\NotePad++\NotePad++.exe"

Or perhaps added to BRConfig.sys, but only applicable to an individual user (Herbert) like:

@"Herbert" Editor "C:\Program Files\Mills Enterprise\MyEditBR\MyEditBR.exe"

REMOVE and NOWAIT affect the way the EDIT command uses the editor program. REMOVE causes BR to remove the source file when editing is complete.
