                                                                          I've a
dded vim and nano as native programs.
                                     
                                     I've added them as external programs with n
ame/internal code using the same name as  native programs.
                                                          
                                                          Here are the settings 
for nano
        Namenano
                Internal CodeNANO
                                 Command Linenano -R -S -c -i -r 75 %f
                                                                      Multiple C
UYes
    I/O MethodSocket
                    Native E/SYes
                                 BBS Drop FTDOOR32.SYS
                                                      
                                                      I selected Nano as default
 external editor. When it tries to use it.
                                          I get an "Aborted." followed by "Hit a
ny Key" 
        
        I tried to use the settings from wiki.
                                              
                                              
                                              I had both nano/vim working in Jul
y of this year; but lost some config
                                    when I did a rebuild of source, and it overw
rote files.
