6.2.13 Editor

Syntax:

Editor program-name

Example:

Editor c:\boxer\b2.exe

This command allows you to specify an external editor to use when writing messages. The editor program (specified as executable filename with full path as the program-name parameter) must accept a filename as the first and only parameter.

Before you decide to use an external editor, you might first want to look at the built-in editor of MsgEd TE. Using the EditKey keyword, the built-in editor is highly configurable to emulate the keystroke combination that you are used to use from your preferred external editor, and you can safe a lot of unnecessary overhead and gain a lot of comfort when using the internal editor as compared to the external one.
