It turns out the mixing of the escaped back slash mixed with the forward
slashes in the error was not the problem; I needed to set the path to SciTE
in Windows. This solves one issue, but raises another. I renamed my
.factor-rc file and I just realized it is not being read when I start
Factor. This is why I have to always specify the editor when I use commands
like: "maze" edit. How can I get Factor to read the .factor-rc file for
windows? Is that the correct name? I have placed it in the
c:\Users\myname\factor directory.
Also, is there a language extension for proper text highlighting available
for SciTE for Factor?
Thank you.
Rob
PS: For Windows users, you can create a .factor-rc file by opening a
command line window, cd to the directory you want the file in or that can
easily be located, and typing the following at the command prompt:
copy con .factor-rc
type your contents here
Press Ctrl-z when you are finished, and your file will be in that
directory. This is a quick way to create a file that begins with a dot.
