I have just uploaded dropin replacements for help.cc and help.h in the
octave src tree. They add a command to invoke your favorite editor on
user compiled functions, syntax:
Octave> edit foo1 foo2 foo3
The editor named in built-in variable EDITOR is called on each function.
If you have XEmacs and gnuserve set up:
Octave> EDITOR="gnuclient -q"
Octave> edit foo1 foo2 ...
will open a new XEmacs frame on each function ready for you to edit. You
do not need to specify a path, Octave will find it for you.
You can only use this by retrieving the Octave 2.0.5 source tree (or a
patched version) and replacing help.cc and help.h with the attached
files (you must rename them to help.cc and help .h) Help information is
built-in just type 'help edit'.
Comments are always welcome.
