[ jEdit-users ] ObjectRexx mode updating

[George H. <gh...@gm...>]

Mario,
I encountered the same problem (jEdit mode directory protected) under
Windows 7.  Actually as administrator you do have the necessary privileges,
but you would have to change permissions of that directory.

There is a way of doing this without tampering with the install directory:
use your settings directory, which is totally under your control.  Broadly
the procedure is:

Copy the installation ObjectRexx.xml and catalog files to your
settings\mode directory where they can be modified (the moved versions will
override the ones in the installation directory) and modify ObjectRexx.xml
as Dale has described.  In the catalog file remove all entries except the
one for mode ObjectRexx.

There are a number of things you need to know to make this work,  I suggest
starting by reading the help on installing jEdit modes, then asking for
help in this forum with residual problems.
