Switching Text Editors?

[Anonymous]

I would like to use a different text editor in AutoCad. Anybody know how to
make a different editor the default so that AutoCAD will use it
automatically?
Thanks

Type "OPTIONS" at the command line. Click the "Files" tab. Expand "Text
Editor, Dictionary, and Font File Names" branch. Expand first item, "Text
Editor Application" Change the value to you preferred editor.

MText editing, or external text file editor (Edit command)?

For external editor, modify your Acad.pgp file.
For MText editor, modify Preferences.

Use the MTEXTED system variable to change the text editor, and include
the path and file name of the executable file.
For example, C:\WINNT\system32\notepad.exe.

Change the value for the MTEXTED system variable back to internal or a
period (.) if you want to restore the use of the default editor for
multiline text.

Thanks Guys, I am trying use editpad lite as an internal text editor to give
me more flexibility for text. I got it to pop up when I try to do
multiline text. My question is, after typing in text how do I get it to show
in drawing? Do I have to save it as something special or location?
Thanks, Kyle

ACAD gives it a temporary file name and when you save and exit acad puts it
in the drawing automatically.

(defun C:MED () (command "._mtexted" "."))
(defun C:NED () (command "._mtexted" "NOTEPAD"))

Best way to handle MTEXT if you are using the control codes as the
internal editor doesn't handle ALL of them.
