Hello,

'edit' function works for editors for MS windows. I will correct my 
previous statement. The following command worked.

>> OCTAVE_VERSION                                                          
OCTAVE_VERSION = 2.1.50
>> computer                                                                
i686-pc-cygwin
>> edit('EDITOR',['notepad ', ' c:/"Program Files"/"GNU Octave 2.1.50"', '%s'])
>> edit('union')                                                               

I will add the following line to my ".octaverc".

edit('EDITOR',['c:/"Program Files"/EmEditor/emeditor ', ' c:/"Program 
Files"/"GNU Octave 2.1.50"', '%s'])                                   
             
"EmEditor" is the editor I am using. "Sc1.exe" looks very nice. Later 
I will try it more.
