[Zope] External Editor

[sean.upton@uniontrib.com]

ExternalEditor has problems with editors that detach from their parent
process. I think the only way around this is to have an editor-specific
plugin to deal with this.  I think there is one for Word, but not for
notepad.  Try MSWord or gvim instead, or consider figuring out how to make a
plugin work for the editor of your choice.  I haven't done this, but I think
there is info you can either google for or search list archives.

Good Luck,
Sean

Thanks for the reply. I am baffled because I have the same setup. If I
use notepad.exe instead of gvim.exe I also get the same message. It must
be a configuration issue specific to my machine. Does anyone else have
any ideas?

Cheers,
Mike
