does winhugs come with a text editor of it's own? If so what is it? if
not what would you suggest? My university has a completely different text
editor when i use it there and i would love to have that same thing for
here.
There must be a way to set the default editor. I don't know how WinHugs behaves, though
it's probably the same as Hugs.
The default default-editor there is what your EDITOR environment variable says (may be
called slightly differently on Windows).
You can change that by
:set -E/usr/bin/myeditor
(on Windows, more likely
:set -E"C:\Programs and Applications\ed")
in (win)hugs.
That isn't permanent, however, so you'd want to put that line into your ~/.hugs
(~/.winhugs) file so that the editor is set on every startup.
Or change the environment variable to your preferred editor (a reasonable thing to do
anyway).
In WinHugs, you set the editor by going to File | Options and on the
"WinHugs" tab, there's a section called "Editor". It's actually really
hard to miss.
Given that the only built-in options it offers are "Notepad" and
"Custom", it's safe to conclude that it doesn't ship with any other
editor. I use Programmer's Notepad 2, which is available as freeware.
Someone has posted a syntax highlighting definition set for PN2 here:

I have not tried it myself.
