Setting up your editor

Question

HI,

I've just installed Sho and set up Emacs following the directions in the Book of Sho. Unfortunately this didn't work as expected. I had to change

sys.Sho.EditorArgs = "+%l %f"

to

sys.Sho.EditorArgs = "+%l \"%f\""

Otherwise Emacs is confused by the spaces in my path (C:\Program Files (x86)\Sho 2.0 for .NET 4\Sho\).

Thanks Bootvis, you're quite right; if your path has spaces you'll need those extra escaped quotes, and your suggestion makes it safe for all paths.  Great suggestion!  We'll update that in the book.
