[Zope] external editor and pythonwin SOLUTION

[Sune Brøndum Wøller]

hello again,
found a solution,
in the ZopeEdit.ini use the following:

[meta-type:Script (Python)]
editor=C:\Plone 2\Python\Lib\site-packages\pythonwin\pythonwin.exe
/newinstance "%1"

Apparently pythonwin recognizes /newinstance


by the way, add stuff like this
as well to recognize the new types
used with the CMFFormController:

[meta-type:Controller Python Script]
editor=C:\Plone 2\Python\Lib\site-packages\pythonwin\pythonwin.exe
/newinstance "%1"
