The SET EDITOR command enables you to specify any editor that is installed on your system. In general, the command line specified as parameter to the SET EDITOR command is spawned and executed in a subprocess. On Alpha and Integrity servers, if you use EDT, LSEDIT, or DECTPU, you can start these editors in a more efficient way. You can specify /CALLABLE_EDT or /CALLABLE_TPU which causes the callable versions of EDT and DECTPU respectively, to be invoked by the EDIT command. In the case of DECTPU, you can also specify a command line that is executed by the callable editor. On Alpha processors, you can use /CALLABLE_EDT or /CALLABLE_TPU, but not /CALLABLE_LSEDIT.
