One of the new but undocumented features of Vernon Buerg's LIST program is its ability to invoke you favorite editor in a point and shoot manner. Assuming you have version 7.3d which is the current version as I write this you can customize LIST for your editor as follows: Using DEBUG and assuming you editor is named MYEDIT.EXE and is in your PATH. Make the directory that contains LIST.COM the current directory. Then: debug n list.com l e 17f7 "myedit" w q It is important that if your editor name is less than 4 characters long you pad the name with spaces to a minumum length of 4. This is because you are actually overwriting the default editor name of "edit". I guess an alternative would be to rename your favorite editor to EDIT.EXE or EDIT.COM as appropriate. Now when you are in LIST you can invoke a directory list via the ALT-V command. Just select the file you want to edit and move the cursor block the the filename and press 'e'. You will instantly invoke the editor you selected. Note: the 'e' is not listed as one the selections on the ALT-V screen and that's why I call this feature undocumented. Once you've tried this I am confident you will use it often.
