Open authoring
Use the open authoring feature to identify a workstation Java editor, an HTML editor, and XML editor of your choice. After you set these up, click to open the designated editor. The 
icon appears next to the text area on several rule forms that contain HTML, XML, or Java.
Until you set up open authoring, the system uses Microsoft Visual Studio (and Visual J++) for Java and HTML editing if installed, or Notepad if Visual Studio is not installed.
If you have a different HTML editor installed, associate that editor with the Edit function on the Windows right mouse menu for the HTML file type.
Similarly, to associate a Java editor, associate the Edit function on the right mouse menu with the JAVA file type (not the JAV file type).
After you set up these associations, click on selected rule forms to cause PRPC to place the text into a local temporary file and start your designated editor rather than Notepad.
The open authoring facilities save temporary files on the user's workstation, or on a local directory that must be dedicated to this user to avoid file name conflicts.
