Ok, made a little more progress...

(1) Made sure the directory containing the SWI-Prolog executables was on my WINNT PATH (via

My Computer->Properties->Advanced->Environmental Variables|->System Variables->select variable name 'Path' -> click Edit... )

(2) Added the command

:- set_prolog_flag(editor,gvim).

by directly editing my 'pl.ini' file (apropos which more below).

(3) Ran SWI-Prolog and tried

?- current_prolog_flag(editor,Q).

Q = gvim

Great!

(4) Ran

?- edit('d:/misc/prolog/bell_numbers'). /* a known file */

and it came up in 'gvim'!

Fantastic!

(5)) Tried

?- edit(junk).
Warning: Cannot find anything to edit from "junk"
Warning: Use edit(file(junk)) to create a new file

Ok, expected that, so tried


?- edit(new(junk)).
Warning: Cannot find anything to edit from "new(junk)"

<expletive deleted>!

Any ideas, anyone?

How about you paying more attention to the warning messages:

<quote>
> Warning: Use edit(*file*(junk)) to create a new file
</quote>
.
