Chatgpg seems think there is a .CFG file:
I asked: sempoint 2.26 is a fidonet echomail program. what is the
trick to invoke an external editor with sempoint?
ChatGPT said:
To configure Sempoint 2.26 to use an external editor for writing or
editing messages, follow these steps:
Select an Editor: First, make sure you have a text editor that can be
launched from the command line, like EDIT.COM, EDIT.EXE, or any
DOS-compatible editor of your choice.
Set Up the Editor in Sempoint:
Open your SEPOINT.CFG file (Sempoint`s configuration file) in a text
editor.
Look for a line that defines the editor setting, usually something like
EDITOR=.
Specify the path to the external editor. For example:
plaintext
EDITOR=C:\\DOS\\EDIT.COM
Ensure that the editor path is correct and accessible from the command line
in your DOS environment.
Configure Editor Parameters (Optional):
Some external editors accept parameters for the file to edit or the initial
cursor position. Sempoint should be able to pass these to your editor.
If your editor supports this, specify any necessary parameters alongside
the editor path. For instance:
plaintext
EDITOR=C:\\DOS\\EDIT.COM %f
Replace %f with the variable Sempoint uses to represent the message file.
This can vary, so consult the documentation to confirm if Sempoint
supports %f or a similar placeholder.
Testing:
Once configured, open Sempoint and try to edit a message. It should now
invoke the specified editor.
Troubleshooting:
If the editor doesn╞t launch or if Sempoint produces errors, double-check
the editor path and file parameters.
Ensure you╞re not running into memory limitations if you╞re on an older DOS
environment.
