Re: A widget for the user's editor of choice

Some Linux friends were bemoaning all the apps that have their own
editors. Why can't you just tell the app which editor you prefer (as,
for example, one can specify vim in mutt)? There should be a simple,
direct way to do this in Tcl.

It *should* work like this:

package require Tk
frame .f -container yes
pack .f -fill both -expand yes
exec xterm -into [ winfo id .f ] -e $env(EDITOR) &

However, the xterm is not reparented into the frame on my machine. Does
anyone know what I left out?

Kind regards
