4.5 Text Editor
Microsoft WordPad is the default text editor used to create and edit
Control Block and BASIC tasks, BASIC include" files, and
documentation files. The text editor is called up automatically
whenever the task to be edited is a BASIC or Control Block task. See
your Windows documentation for instructions on using WordPad.
If you do not want to use WordPad as your text editor, you can
designate a different text editor.
Step 1.
Verify that the text editor is in your DOS PATH.
Step 2. If it is a DOSĆbased editor, you must also create a .PIF file
for it. This is done with the Windows PIF Editor.
a. Access the Windows Program Manager.
b. Choose the Accessories Group.
c. Choose the PIF Editor.
d. Select Open from the File menu, and specify NE.COM.
e. In the Program Filename field, change NE.COM to the
name of your text editor (as it appears in your DOS
PATH).
f. In the Window Title field, enter the descriptive name of
your text editor.
g. Save the file.
See the Microsoft Windows User's Guide for more
information on the PIF Editor.
Step 3. Enter the name of your text editor during AutoMax Setup.
