in reply to Create and edit new scripts

The editor I prefer to use is nedit but you could substitute your favourite in $editor.

How 'bout having it use $ENV{EDITOR}, if defined?

    I did originally use $ENV{EDITOR} but cut it out for the OP to make things simpler. I also cut out some command-line flags that gave to option to create Bourne, Korn or Bash scripts, also for simplicity. I would add those back in but in a different way now that I have seen the various replies.

    Sorry it took a long time to notice your reply. I need to find out how to get automatic notification when there is a reply to one of my posts. There is probably an option I haven't found yet.

    Cheers,

      It's the chatterbox nodelet. If you don't like the CB, turn it off with /chatteroff (exactly like I did!), you will still see the messages directly addressed to you, including the notifications. Of course if you had it, then I'd have /msg'd you instead of writing a reply.
