Hi, after all also here sciTE is doing what it should do. :-) get the SciTE zip files from the Pragma-site: http://www.pragma-ade.com/scite/wscite.zip http://www.pragma-ade.com/scite/cscite.zip get the MSVCR71.dll from: http://cvs.osafoundation.org/index.cgi/osaf/chandler/Chandler/distrib/win/ms... Unpack the wscite.zip (will be umpacked into drive:\wscite) Unpack also the cscite.zip into this directory. For setting up your SciTE do the following: 1. Do not make an environment variable under Windows XP (Home edition) 2. Add the path to SciTE.exe to the path systemvariable. 2. Copy the file context.properties to the directory "drive":\Documents and Settings\"user" 3. Start sciTE e.g. from the command prompt 4. Klick on the Options in the topbar. 5. Klick on the Open "User Options File" (SciTEUser.properties) listentry 6. Open the file context.properties in the directory "drive":\Documents and Settings\"user" 7. Edit in this file the lines where ruby and perl paths are defined to mach your own situation. 8. Edit the SciTEUser.properties file according to your needs (It might be helpful to open also the SciTEGlobal.properties file under Options, "Open Global Options File" in order to see which settings you want beyond the settings in context.properties). Add at least the lines import context import metafun-scite 9. Save all files. 10. Restart SciTE If everything went ok, you should be smiling. Willi Willi
