Editor


Used for:	RTclient, RTmon, and RTgms processes
Type:	String
Default Value:	UNIX: `vi` Windows: `notepad` OpenVMS: `edt`
Valid Values:	Any valid program or shell script name

The Editor option specifies which text editor (or program) is used when the RT process initiates an editor session. Depending on the system configuration, possible values for this option include emacs, vi (for UNIX), edt (for OpenVMS), Notepad, write (for Windows), and other editors such as textedit (for Solaris).

Also, any program or shell script can be specified as the value of the Editor option. For example, if you specified cat as the value:

CLIENT> setopt editor cat

the name of the file is fed to the cat program and the file is output to standard output. This option is required and cannot be unset.
