John:

Xcode lets you choose the editors used for the files in your project by specifying the preferred editing application for a given file type. Xcode uses the information from the "File Types" preference panel to determine how to open a file when an edit it requested. There is a section on setting and changing the editor for file types in the Xcode Help documentation, which is the best place to look for information on Xcode. You can get to it using the following steps:

1) Launch Xcode
2) Go under the "Help" menu, and select "Xcode Help" -- the documentation window will open and display the main "About Xcode" page.
3) In the left-hand frame (which is a miniature table of contents), scroll down to the "Editing" section.
4) Select the "Choosing the Preferred Editor for a File Type" item in the editing section


The Xcode Documentation window supports full-text searches of all of the documentation, as well as API searches for all of the supporting language documents. (Use the magnifying-class pop-up in the search field in the toolbar to switch between the different types of searches.) Note the API searches will be constrained to the "Library" you have selected in the left-hand view -- so if you want to view fewer (or more) hits, be sure to select the appropriate library item.

Hope that helps.

I have googled, searched developer.apple.com, and searched the release
notes and documentation.

How on earth do I tell Xcode to use an external editor???

Actually, I would like to know what I'm doing wrong in searching for
the informaiton, because this has to be documented *somewhere*, I just
can't find it.

Thanx in advance,
JP
