An editing operation must be initiated from one of the menus (Files->Edit), the Toolbar or Alt+E combination keys. An ASCII text file will be edited using the default editor. The default editor may be either the internal editor FlexEdit or the configured external program editor (defaults to EPM.EXE). If a file with an extension of BMP, PTR or ICO is selected, the OS/2 utility ICONEDIT.EXE is started to edit or view the file. These files (EPM.EXE and ICONEDIT.EXE) must be located in the environment path.
If multiple files are selected and the external editor is set to accept multiple files (see Configure External Programs), all files will be read into one instance of the editor. If the editor is not set to accept multiple files, separate instances of the editor are started for the first 10 selected files. In other words, you get 10 windows of the editor, one for each file.
