Program 2: External programs

On this settings page, you can configure some external programs to be used by AWeb.

Editor

This is the editor command invoked when you click the

gadget in text area form fields.

Use the Command and Arguments fields to specify your editor command. Argument parameters are:
first %s = file name to edit.
second %s = screen name that AWeb is running on, in case your editor supports opening on a public screen.

Make sure the command will not return until you leave the editor. For some editors, this will need a STICKY or KEEPIO argument.

HTML source viewer

Currently, AWeb relies on an external viewer for the

Project /
View source

menu function.

Use the Command and Arguments fields to specify your source viewer command. Argument parameters are:
first %s = file name to edit.
second %s = screen name that AWeb is running on, in case your viewer supports opening on a public screen.

Note that the default setting, MultiView, will not produce the expected results if you happen to have a HTML datatype installed on your system. In that case, the datatype will show the source as HTML again. If this happens, you should configure another viewer.
