wildfire; changing text editor

For the full note editor, how do I get pro to see wordpad instead of
notepad? I need a spell checker. If there is a built in checker I
can't find it.

Pro Version; Wildfire 1.0
Windows XP

I found "drawing_file_editor" in the "Tools, Options". I added that to
the config.pro file but it would not recognize it.

So what do you think is the answer?

Might try pro_editor_command. Think the one you set if for editing *.dtl.
Might do a global search, all modules for "_editor" (sans quotes).

ModelCheck also will check spelling. There's a little bit in help about
it.

I thought I remembered this being discussed. Back on May 13, Brooke asked about a
config.pro editor. It's not a bad discussion on this question of the
pro_editor_command and how to set it. What got left out of that discussion though
was the technique of using the Browse button below the Value input box to find and
enter an executable, like wordpad.exe and specify it with it's whole directory
string as the value for this option. It may or may not work by simply specifying
the executable. But if you find it with Browse and enter it with the full path
string, it will certainly work. This technique should be used anywhere a
path/executable needs to be entered, for example, with all the options that end in
dir, like pro_materials_dir.

Good point. Seems that Pro/E likes to see full / absolute paths across the
board. "You find it! Why should I do All the work?!" 8~)
