  • golded problem

    From ALAN@1:135/392 to ALL on Sun Mar 27 15:46:00 2022
    Hi there!

    I am having a problem with OpenXP.

    I don't know how to get Golded to work, I set it up in the editor
    section and ensure it takes by running through the rest of the dialog.

    Tried using the path to it in defining the editor

    ie: c:\Golded3\gedwin.exe.

    Nothing.

    Can't find my manual anywhere.

    In essence.

    Help!

    Cheers,

    Alan

    I think you have to add the correct parameters that golded.exe
    expects that represents the "message".

    If you go to Config/External/Editor.. and then press F1, you
    will see this as the HELP for the first field:

    º OpenXP does have its own built in editor which º
    º should do all you need. But if you really cannot part º
    º from your beloved old editor, then you can enter it º
    º here (incl. extension .COM or .EXE) º
    º º
    º The macro $FILE may be entered for the name of º
    º the file to be edited. Otherwise XP passes the file º
    º name as the only parameter to the editor. º
    º º
    º Linking in other tools º
    º If you use the internal editor but wish to call a º
    º programme *after* it, perhaps a text formatter or a º
    º signature generator, then you can also enter it here, º
    º but put a * in front of its name. º

    HTH!
