MAE: Changing The Default Editor (7/94)


How do I change the default editor in Macintosh Application Environment (MAE) to a Macintosh editor? The default is vi.

In the X client Set Up control panel, you can change the default text editor by telling MAE the path to editor you prefer.

For example, on our test computer to set SimpleText as the default editor, follow the path: "/export/home/SimpleText $1", and to reset vi as the default editor, follow the path: "/bin/vi $1".
