Note that the current default behavior (assuming you've not set EDITOR) is "vi foo.txt" which is quite unlikely to be helpful to a Windows user. I'm not sure we need to do the "execute a textfile" bit, but at the very least DEFAULT_EDITOR should probably be "notepad.exe" on Windows. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
