Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of text editor can I use?

Csound FAQ
In theory, any text editor will work. I recommend that you use a text editor with only the basics, like Notepad for PC or BBedit for Mac. An elaborate text editor, such as Microsoft Word, can put gremlins(invisible characters) inside your .orc and .sco files, causing Csound to crash when computing.

FAQ - Ciaran O'Riordan
GNU Emacs. GNU Emacs is an extensible, customisable, self-documenting text editor that has been in development since 1984. It was a rewrite of the original Emacs, which was written by the same author in 1976. So after almost thirty years of customisation and extention, it has reached a really advanced level of usefulness. I've been using GNU Emacs since sometime in the summer of 2002. Before that I used ViM for five years, but there are limits to how many things you can learn to do with ViM.

VISION FAQ Heriot-Watt University Virtual Learning Environme...

Can I use Microsoft Word as my text editor?

Course Resources -- First Web Page FAQ
While you technically can use MS Word as your text editor I really suggest that you don't. Use Notepad instead. Word tries to write HTML for you and will make a mess of your document. I don't recommend it until you are more familiar with using HTML code and tags and can recognize what is supposed to be there and what MS Word has coded in for you. It is supposed to be a feature, but it is not a particularly helpful one.

A#4.5: Whichever one you want. Many editors work under GNO. Some of the more popular ones are emacs (MicroEMACS), vi (Stevie), ORCA/Editor, Edit-16, and Rose. Many of these editors cannot be suspended from the shell. Some have the "eating keystrokes" problem (see Q#14.1).

What other text editors, other than Editor, are available for use with POS?

FAQ for PERQ Graphics Workstations
The Pepper editor is similar to the EMACS editor (but has far fewer features and capabilities), and comes in two varieties: the standard Pepper editor from PERQ Systems and the version from Igloo software that comes with IDOCS (this version uses different key bindings and, to an EMACS user, is more difficult to use).

Is it possible to use any other font except 6x8 font in the text editor?

Frequently Asked Questions
Principally, you can change font using WinFont before calling TE_open. For example, you can do WinFont (DeskTop, F_8x10); However, the editor will work fine with both 6x8 and 8x10 fonts, but not with 4x6 font (try and see), because it is proportional, so the editor will be fooled (editors usually expects fixed-size fonts). This is a pity. The answer of the first part of the question is: just nothing. Options which are added on deeper levels are just ignored.

Q18: What text editor should I use to edit the rules file or the CSV file?

FAQs: Use with Product Databases | Americart Shopping Cart
A18: We recommend the freeware editor Wordtabs. If using WordTabs, be sure to pull down "Tools...Options...Click the "general" tab, and UNcheck "RTF is default Format". This editor is GREAT freeware, although the author has moved on to other things. Remember, the standard windows Notepad won't edit large files. Note that you typically won't be editing the CSV file if you are exporting from a database.

Can I use accented text?

GameFAQs: Message List
It depends. If you are typing in a different language (writing a foreign language guide, quoting a script, etc.) then it's ok. If you're just trying to use it to be disruptive (example; RR and LL are Spanish "letters". LL sounds like y and RR sounds like a purr. If you use LL like this: LLa, then it’s disruptive) then no.

Why do I get a garbled screen when I use an editor?

BC AIX Frequently Asked Questions
The full screen editors need to know how to navigate to arbitrary points on your screen, and hence need to know what type of terminal or terminal emulator you are using. If they have incorrect information, it will look bad. In most cases the terminal type "vt100" will work well. At the Unix prompt, enter export TERM=vt100 and <return>, then try your editor again.
