This file is to enhance the usage of the External Editor option.

If you use a  external editor  that is compatible with the way Gedit 
operates then it may be possible to use that other editor.....

Check your   other editor   and see if it is compatible with the
command line used to call gedit.  

Here is the syntax of the command line TC-MM uses to calling the editor:

path+filename COMPORT BAUDRATE TIMELEFT INACTIVITY


where:

path+filename is supplied by you in MMCONFIG

COMPORT    = communications port in use
BAUDRATE   = baud rate currently being used
TIMELEFT   = user time remaining
INACTIVITY = inactivity time out (set for 3 minutes)

**********************************************************************
So, it seems feasible to me, if your  external editor  used a similar
command line and supported the      msgtmp    type interface, that you
could place them name of you excutable in the appropriate place in
MMCONFIG.
