Hi Michael,

Pull down the Edit Menu option. There will be 2 options, one of the to invoke the editor, and the other to define it.

Overwrite the NOTEPAD.EXE with your favourite Windows editor, in my example C:\ED4W\ED4W.EXE

I don't know how to make that permanent though. So far, I have had to repeat this every time I invoke SQL*Plus.

Alex Long
