[fptex] editor/fptex interaction

[John Frampton]

I use TSEPro, a Windows editor which derives from QEdit, a very 
good DOS editor.  I have built a TSE setup (configuration and 
macros) for running fptex that I am very happy with.  It does 
most of the things that WinEdt does, but is a much better editor. 
  The one slight (fairly small) problem, is that if I want to go 
to the line in the file for which fptex reported on error, I must 
do it from inside TSEPro (one key stroke).  The logfile is loaded 
and the line number is read, some parsing is done to find which 
file generated the editor (better than WinEdt does), and a window 
is opened with the cursor on the appropriate line.  I assume that 
if I knew more, I could do this via the -e exit to Tex.  Now I 
must use the -x exit, then hit the appropriate editor key.

With that background, here is the question.  I would like to know 
  precisely what happens if the -r exit of Tex is invoked.  If 
this has been included in the latest version of the ptTEX 
documentation, I apologize for the question.  The documentation I 
have (September 2000) has only section headings for the chapter 
on editing.

Thanks,
