Paul,
The previous setting did have double quotes, but when I removed them in
stat_octave.sh, the problem still occurred.
The non-opening of the file when I set the editor string to
C:/progra~1... sounds like a windows DDE thing.
The main reason I wanted to used NoteTab is because it knows about Unix
style end of line characters, and notepad doesn't. Not a major problem.
