Important Notice
The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software,
purely for historical purposes.
If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming,
you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully
out of date.
Custom Editor Command (2 of 2)
You can edit C program files with any editor; you are not
required to use the QuickC editor.
To define a custom editor, use the Customize Menu command:
1. Select Customize Menu
2. Tab to Custom Editor in the list and select <Edit>
3. Supply the information pertaining to your editor
To invoke the custom editor:
■ Select Custom Editor from the menu
OR
■ Press ALT+U+E
OR
■ Use the accelerator key if you have defined one
NOTE: Do not use a custom editor when you are debugging,
if you need the Debug menu's History feature to
record the session.
The history file identifies debug events by source-
line number. The QuickC editor can update the line
numbers if the source code changes, but custom
editors cannot. As a result, a custom editor may
cause synchronization errors when you replay the
record.
