BUT  This thread gave me the idea of adding an entry for Edita to
the SendTo menu, so I created a shortcut thus (erm, all one line):

"C:\Program Files\Edita\exw24.exe" "C:\Program Files\Edita\edita.exw"
%1

and it don't work. So I created a new test program, cl.exw:

include ppp.e
pp(command_line())
if getc(0) then end if

When I right click on this, and Send To Edita, I get:
{"C:\\PROGRAM FILES\\EDITA\\EXW24.EXE",
"C:\\POSITIVE\\BUILTINS\\CL.EXW"}

To which I say Oi! Where's me middle bit gone?

Any more clues?
Pete

PS I also created an edita.bat file which contained:
"exw24.exe edita.exw %1", and changed shortcut to ...edita.bat" %1.
It worked, bar the dead DOS box that has to be closed manually - it
seems pif settings, like start minimised or close window on exit, are
not applied when run like this, on win98.
