[arachne] replacing arachne editor with own choice

Arachne at FreeLists---The Arachne Fan Club!

Many thanks to the WIZ and to Greg Mayman for their replies to my query 
as to how I could replace the arachne default email editor with my 
preferred editor with more powers.  Both suggestions involved changes to 
the XEDIT.BAT file.  Both appear to use PEDIT as the default editor.

It appears both substantially similar suggestions would have worked for 
A171 and up.

Unfortunately, because of its flawless and intuitive file downloading 
capability, I am using A170 because of my frequent need to download 
files.  Unfortunately, A170 does not use an EXEDIT.BAT file.

Neither have I been able to locate either the Arachne name of the A170 
default editor nor the generic name of its original editor, although as 
a wild guess I would think probably also PEDIT.  Nor have I found a BAT 
file similar to EXEDIT.BAT.

If anyone knows how to replace the default email editor on A170 with 
another editor, I would appreciate having the info.
