Changing the WINSTEPS Text Editor or Word Processor:

WINSTEPS uses the WordPad editor.

To change to the editor of your choice, edit the WINSTEPS.INI file in your
C:\WINSTEPS directory. 

By default it contains:

Editor = "WordPad"

To use any other editor, enter its full pathname. For Word 6.0, edit
WINSTEPS.INI to be:

Editor = "C:\MSOFFICE\WINWORD\WINWORD.EXE"

To find the pathname of your word processor, right-click on any
short-cut to it.  Then select "Properties".  Select the "Shortcut" tab.
The pathname is shown as "Target". You can ctrl-c from Target and ctrl-v into WINSTEPS.INI
