    Clarify in the help text: if you include a file extension (e.g. .exe)...Then you must also include the file extension on all the configured command-lines.The opposite is not true: excluding the file extension in the native program list will still work if the command-line includes the file extension.

    Use "Message Editors" instead of the (vague) "External Editors"It was redudnant having "External Editors" under "External Programs" (they'reall external, yeah?) and of course, "Editors of what?"So yeah, existing docs are now all wrong. :-)

    Use "Message Editors" instead of the (vague) "External Editors"

    It was redudnant having "External Editors" under "External Programs" (they're all external, yeah?) and of course, "Editors of what?"

    In addition to editing messages, I thought those editors would also be used for other things, such as when the user edits their signature? I thought "external editors" made sense.

    Yeah, I considered "Text Editors", but they're mainly known as "Message Editors" in the BBS world. "External" is implied.
