Ah, sorry; "start" is a Windows thing. Easy fix. Open xyscript.lib. Search for "SUB xe", then delete the word "start" in
SUB xe
# DOC: Open file in external editor
# DOC: User Variable: ExternalEditor
LOCAL fn
IF $1
SET fn = $1
ELSE
SET fn = $FP
EI
X/NV $ExternalEditor $fn
ENDSUB
Then: SAVE;ADDLIB $FP
