Description

The default editor, scoedit can be used to create, edit, and save files.

The toolbar, just below the menu bar, provides quick access to these frequently used menu items (from left to right): Open, Save, Include, Find, Print.

To attach a different editor to the Edit icon, set the EDITOR environment variable to the name of the desired editor. For example, this line in your .profile or .cshrc file would change the default editor to vi:

   EDITOR=/bin/vi

NOTE: If you are using Korn shell (ksh), the EDITOR variable also determines the command-line editor. See the ksh(C) manual page for more details.

Command options

These options can be used when scoedit is invoked from the command line:

-r: starts scoedit in read-only mode.
filename: specifies the file to edit. If you do not give the full pathname, scoedit looks for the file in the current directory.
