Hello,

The information found at

http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/user_faq.html#source_view

doesn't work on the Mac.

When running the macro, different things will happen depending on  
which editor is specified:

- if the editor is a terminal editor (like emacs), the command will  
terminate with an error message saying that standard input isn't a tty
- if the editor is a GUI application with a command line interface  
(like SubEthaEdit (SEE), started with the 'see' command), XXE will  
wait endlessly for a response, while nothing is ever reaching SEE
- if the external editor is not specified, but the file is opened in  
the default editor using the command 'open', the file will indeed be  
opened by the default editor for the file type, but XXE will not be  
notified when the editing session is over, and thus you will loose  
all changes unless the document is manually reloaded

This behaviour happens irrespectively of whether XXE is started by  
double clicking the icon, or with .../Resources/Java/xxe.

Environment:
XMLEditor 3.0 Standard Edition
MacOS X, 10.4.2
Java 1.4.2 (latest update from Apple)
Default shell: bash

I have not been able to figure out a working solution, but would be  
very interested in one, as it is a nice feature:-)

Best regards,
Sjur N. Moshagen
