(Maybe if I read a manual for once I >could figure it all out, eh?) WAIT! Following is a way to invoke VI EASILY from within the integrated environment. I'll admit, it took reading the manual to get the integrated environment closer to what I was comfortable using (One of the few times I have had to RTFM :-). Invoke TC and close ALL projects and open files. If you don't do this, the scope of your change will only be for the current project. You want this to be applied to all projects. (Unfortunately, the change will not be applied to projects you have created prior to the change, since when you create a project, a copy of the 'current' TC environment is made for the project.) Anyhow, to get VI to work with TC++, go to the Options menu, select Transfer. Then select Edit. You are going to modify this entry, then save it as a new entry. Change the 'Program Title' to read '~Vi'. Change the 'Program Path' to read 'vi.exe' (or an explicit path, which makes loading VI faster). Change the 'Command Line' to read '$MEM(256) $SAVE CUR $EDNAME'. Then select a new 'Hot Key' from the hot key menu. The grayed out entries are already in use by other programs. I chose F8, since on my keyboard, that makes invoking the editor (via shift/f8) an easy sequence to hit. Leave the Translator check box empty. When complete, select 'New', to save this as a new entry. (You could select modify, but you would lose the entry for 'grep'.) Finally, select OK to save your changes, then save your entire environment by doing 'alt/O', 'S'ave, o'K'. Now open a text window with a file, punch shift/f8, and you should be up in the vi. By the by- by using the same set of setup windows, you can install lex, yacc and other translators to do preprocessing for you (and get it to work with the project make files). Good luck. -paul -- * Paul Anderson * Crossroads Computing * (404) 565-0761 * emory!rsiatl!pda * "SCCS: The condom of promiscuous programmers"

I'll give this a shot and see what I can do with the Integrated Environment now. -- "What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet."
