Here is what I did to get it going... EDITOR_CMD = ' "notepad" %s' # I put a space in there just to make it easy to see for the email but by quoting notepad the command line gets interpreted properly. -Curt Yanko

The '%s' gets replaced by a temporary file name, it definitly needs to be there. I know nothing about notepad.exe, but it sounds like notepad can't accept filename arguments on the command line. I can't verify this however. I know people are using ZopeEDIT in Win?? so it must be something with notepad.

OK, so it's not my favourite editor but I thought I'd try Notepad with ZopeEDIT for the hell of it.

Can anyone tell me what I should set EDITOR_CMD to?

'C:\WINNT\system32\notepad.exe' and 'C:\WINNT\system32\notepad.exe %s' don't do the job. (What's the %s for anyway?)

TIA. Paul
