You can use magiedit on the linux version, I was using it here to start with. Magiedit has it's own problems though, and the code was getting
to be a big mess.

Gotcha. If I have time I may try to cram a dos message editor in there
as a door... think it would work?

Little things like that.. haven't had a crash in a while though, so
that's good :)

Very good!

Yeah, it should. I guess you'd have to use netfoss etc.

It is supposed to use QuickBBS style for the external editor, and it puts
the MSGTMP / MSGINF in the temp/[node]/ folder.

So you'd just have your external editor line in the talisman ini to point
to a batch file that loads up netfoss and the dos editor.

This maybe a dumb question... could one use the old (or current, I think.) iceEdit? I always liked that editor and if it would plugin with TALISMAN that would be cool.

You might be able to on Windows 32 bit, but not on a pi. The dosbox
method I mentioned earlier won't work too well if someone's trying to
write a message on 2 nodes at a time, which is more likely than running
the same door.

Shows what I know, about IceEdit and using it with TALISMAN - I didn't even think about how it would be 'a door'... understood..

I'll have a play with this over the next three days. Will also start
moving some ANSI's over and see if I can break it good and proper. ;)

EDIT: Just upgraded. Didn't think and overwrote the message area config
LOL. Need to rebuild that first. hahahahahaha

I've looked everywhere for an example of this.... ? LOL Sorry I admit

I'm not sure how the netfoss part works, but the batchfile is called just
like a door, ie with %1 being node number and %2 being socket.

Sorry I wasn't clear. in talisman.ini what is the keyword? is it
editor = "batchfile" ?

Sigh, today I saw it in the docs on the website. I think my browser
hadn't refreshed or something.

Under paths, you put

external editor = batchfile
