[Greasemonkey] edit script

[daddydave]

Not sure what platform you are on but
I created a batch file c:\bat\jeditgm.bat with the single line:
"C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_04\bin\javaw.exe" -jar "C:\Program
Files\jEdit\jedit.jar" %1

Then set the greasemonkey editor to c:\bat\jeditgm.bat and it works!

At the risk of starting an editor war, Notepad++ is pretty nice for
javascript editing I think: code folding, brace matching, syntax
highlighting, plugin architecture. You just reminded me to install the
function autocomplete plugin!
