Octave 3.6.1 edit.m problem under Windows 7 x64 |

Dear Octave mailing list,
I've recently followed all of the instructions to manually install octave
under Windows (I'm running Windows 7 x64). I've extracted all the files
under C:\ so that there's no spaces in the directory name as requested.
I've also edited octaverc so that the chosen editor is Notepad++. As a
matter of fact if I type "EDITOR" into the Octave console, Octave returns:
ans= C:\Programmi (x86)\Notepad++\notepad++.exe
(please note, "Programmi" is not a misspelled "Programs", it's an Italian
computer... )
but if I write "edit" in the prompt i receive the following error:
warning: unrecognized escape sequence '\P' -- converting to 'P'
warning: unrecognized escape sequence '\N' -- converting to 'N'
error: system: CreateProcess failed -- can't create child process
error: called from:
error: C:\Octave3.6.1_gcc4.6.2\share\octave\3.6.1\m\miscellaneous\edit.m at
line 212, column 7
I've done a little research and I've understood that it's a known
problem...is there a way to resolve it? I've also understood there's a
workaround...is that true? and, if yes, what's that?
Thank you!
