Hello Steve, Welcome to Factor, it is a great community.
You may want to look here to see how to run a Factor script from the command line: http://leto.net/factor/2008/11/running-a-factor-script.html Then you tie that in with how your editor invokes external commands (:! in vim). You can even have the script use the highlighted text in the editor to determine what to run, etc. Cheers, On Mon, Jan 19, 2009 at 5:57 PM, Steve Weeks <nbxst...@gmail.com> wrote: > I'm learning factor and have some of those noob questions.
