Well, I use YES with my copy of Yarn, so i have a batch file (compiled to a
.com file with bat2exec, it gives me weird errors if i have it any other
way) which calls UltraEdit.
@echo off
D:\ultrae~1\uedit32 %2/%1
pause
Since it is a compiled batch file, the true_editor is set to
true_editor = "d:\yes\editor.com"
The jump_to_line value in config.yes (so it loads the file and then jumps
to the first line of text) is set thus:
jump_to_line = %line
So, when you reply or followup to something, it invokes UltraEdit, and then
displays "Strike any key when ready...".
BTW, I can mail you a copy of bat2exec if you want, it's only 7Kb...
HTH,
Dominic Davidson
