Problem summary - emacs ends up thinking it is in the same directory in which
the filemgr was started.. Since I was using sh PWD was
not updated..
Thanks to the following folks for their replys:
droms@sol.bucknell.edu
knight@mcro.carleton.ca
john@software.mitel.com
maslen@eng.sun.com
jcl@ginsu13.belcore.com
Here's the summary of answers that I found to work on MY system..
First start up your file manager - go into props - select tool properties -
there you will get a menu - on the line DEFAULT DOCUMENT EDITOR - click "Other:"
and place either of the following commands in there -
csh -cf /usr/local/bin/emacs $FILE
shelltool csh -c "sleep3;emacs $FILE"
for command #1 do a 'which emacs' and make sure you are pointing to the
right directory for the emacs you use..
The first command is cleaner - but both will work..
Then chick on apply and you are done. You can now double-click on a file
within filemgr and have it come up in the emacs editor.,
Ta Da.... So simple and yet it gave me such a headache --- ;-0
thanks again
Susanne Ramsey
