Mario,

Sql*plus has two editors always, the line editor used by entering commands like 'c/user_/all_'. You also can use an ordinary screen editor by giving the command ed. SQL*Plus will save your buffer to the file afiedt.buf and invoke the editor you defined. To do this you should have the variable '_editor' defined, so the command 'define _editor = notepad.exe' should enable you to use notepad, which is the default.

Hope this helps,
