Specifying Editors to Use

By default, Drag and Drop is configured to use Notepad to edit files. You can, however, use the controls in the Open With Configuration group of the Environment dialog box to specify other editors that you might prefer to use.

To make an editor available for use in Drag and Drop:

1. Click Environment on the Configure menu.
2. Click Add Command.

   The Description, Command and Parameters fields are populated with default information.

3. Update the Description, Command and Parameters fields with information about the editor you want to make available. In the Parameters field, the parameter %s refers to the name of the file to be edited, so you should always include this parameter.
4. If you are editing a file on the mainframe using a confgured editor, and want the changed file to be sent back to the mainframe, check Save Mainframe Edits?. This has no effect when using this editor on the PC side.
5. Repeat steps 2 through 4 for any other editors you want to add.
6. Click Save Commands, then click OK.

   The editors you specified are immediately available for use whenever you right-click on a file and click Open with on the popup menu.

You can also perform the following operations to configure the editors that are available:

• Update an existing definition for an editor by clicking it in the list of defined editors, modifying its details, then clicking Save Commands.
• Delete the definition for an editor by clicking it in the list of defined editors and clicking Delete Command.
• Reset all editor commands to the default by clicking Reset All Commands. After clicking this button (and clicking Yes on the subsequent confirmation message box), the only editor available for use is Notepad. Any definitions you have added are lost.
