Any good alternative editor for VFP Thread #
1251231 I've downloaded TextPad (I think), but hadn't chance to try it yet.
You need to set the Editor in the config.fpw file.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
TEDIT [/N] editor
Specifies the name of the text editor used when you edit program files with MODIFY COMMAND or MODIFY FILE.
Include the optional clause /N with TEDIT to specify a Windows text editor.
Default: Visual FoxPro editor
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
