That's not it. My ZopeEdit.ini looks like this: # Uncomment and specify an editor value to override the editor # specified by the operating system editor = C:\cygwin\usr\local\bin\i686-pc-cygwin\gnuclient.exe #editor = C:\cygwin\usr\local\bin\i686-pc-cygwin\xemacs.exe #editor = Notepad.exe #editor = C:\cygwin\bin\vim.exe Each of these options has worked for me. Her problem is something else. I did have a problem where after several uses, gnuclient wouldn't start up but I doubt that is related. Rebooting Windows fixed the problem for a while. I just upgraded to .5 so I don't know yet if I still have the problem. For my money, the ftp access via xemacs is much easier to use than the ExternalEditor. I'm impressed by EE and it's cool, but it just doesn't work well for me.

I registered the .dtml for the editor
"E:\EditPlus\editplus.exe" but with no
effect. So I changed the ZopeEdit.ini:
---- snip
(I tried with and without "" no change) editor = "E:\EditPlus\editplus.exe"
Depending on how the strings are processed you might need to double the backslashes or alternatively declare the strings to be "raw":
editor = "E:\\EditPlus\\editplus.exe"
or
editor = r"E:\EditPlus\editplus.exe"
This would apply if they are just normal python statements, since the "\" character is an escape character in python.
Cheers,
