145.0. "Editor in a Window" by BUNNY::FU (HJ Fu & � � � � � �) Tue Feb 07 1989 15:46

	We have an application which requires us to allow the user to be 
	automatically put in an editor (EDT) whenever he wants to create a 
	text file. When the user exits the editor, the editor disappears. 

	From FileView window, if I activate the 'Edit' push button in the
	'Files' pulldown menu, I will first be asked to give a file name and
	an editor of my choice (say EDT), then I will be put in the EDT 
	editor, which is inside a dialog box (?). When I exit from EDT, the
	whole window then disappears.

	This is exactly what we would like to implement for our application.
	We appreciate any clues as to how this was implemented.

	HJ Fu

FileVue uses the undocumented DECTerm widget.

If you don't mind the editor being in a window of it's own, you can use
DECW$TERM_PORT.  There are some gotcha's in DECW$TERM_PORT, check the
DECTERM conference for details.
