% d:/Programmieren/SWI-Prolog/PL/DEMO/LIKES.PL compiled 0.00 sec, 2,228 bytes
Welcome to SWI-Prolog (Version 5.0.5)

?- getenv('EDITOR',E).

E = notepad ;

No
?- edit(likes).
% Waiting for editor ...
% Editor returned failure; skipped make/0 to reload files

As of version 5.0.5, the preferred way to select an editor is using a prolog
flag.  Some examples:

:- set_prolog_flag(editor, notepad).
:- set_prolog_flag(editor, pce_emacs).	% Use built-in PceEmacs

There was a little bug making the use of the environment variable not work
properly as default.  You can fetch pl/library/edit.pl from the CVS server
and replace this file.  No further installation is needed.  I've replaced
the Windows executable w32pl505.exe, so you can also fetch the new version.

	Cheers --- Jan
