Re: problem with define_editor command

Why? VIM runs on many different platforms.

This is the statement from the web site.

VIM runs on many operating systems:

    AmigaOS, AtariMiNT, BeOS, DOS, MacOS,     MachTen, OS/2, RiscOS, VMS, and Windows     (95/98/NT4/NT5/2000/XP/.NET/64-Bit/Embedded)

and, of course, on UNIX in a lot of flavours:

    A/UX, AIX, BSDI, Convex, DYNIX/ptx, DG/UX, DEC Unix, FreeBSD,     HPUX, Irix, Linux [Debian, RedHat, Slackware, SuSE,...],     Solaris, SunOS, SUPER-UX, Ultrix, Unixware, Unisys -- Steve RainbirdPrincipal consultantMSS International Ltd.www.mssint.com
