Changing Editors

  The DECwindows Text Editor is the default editor used to
  create messages.  If multiple editors are available on your
  system, you can choose a different editor to create a message.
  You can change your default editor by modifying your Send
  options.

  To change editors for a specific message:

  1.  Choose the desired editor from the Create-Send window's
      Change Editor menu.

      A new window will open containing any text you may
      have already entered in the message.

  2.  Click on the new window and enter the text of the
      message, using editing commands appropriate for your
      chosen editor.

  3.  Exit from the editor.
      You cannot edit the message after exiting from the editor.

      You cannot extract the message to a file, or create a
      draft of the message.  You can edit the message envelope
      (address information) by clicking on a text entry box in
      the Create-Send window.

  4.  To send the message, click on the Send button in the

      Create-Send window.

  5.  To send another message, click on the Reset button.
      The DECwindows Text Editor is once again the default,
      and all Create-Send options become available.
