**Editor in SQL*Plus -** 07-08-2008 , 12:39 PM

I know how to use define _editor to specify an editor of my choice for
SQL*Plus. But the path to my editor contains spaces (d:\program
files\Text Pad4\textpad.exe). I've made it work using the short
version of the directory names, but is there a way to use the path
with embedded spaces?

define _editor="d:\program files\Text Pad4\textpad.exe"
should work

BTW, the 5.2 version seems to be the current ;-)
