I run in a single user environment on a single workstation, but my guess would be to put the executables nedit and nc in a place everyone has access to, generally /usr/local/bin/ and make sure the files are executable by everyone (chmod a+x nedit nc). Also, make sure everyone can access /usr/local/bin (chmod 755 /usr/local/bin). Anyone should be able to execute the command "nedit" from a command line assuming /usr/local/bin is in their PATH. As far as menus go, assuming you are running KDE, there is a menu editor option on the KDE menu that lets you add new menu options.

12/17/01 09:29AM >>> Has anyone here used Textpad? If so, I'm looking for an editor of similar quality to use regularly with Linux/KDE2. Any suggestions? What I'm looking for is an editor with syntax highlighting that can be changed based upon the type of document being edited, that has the features of macros, recording common keystroke patterns, and various such configurations. Thanks for any responses. I personally love nEdit (www.nedit.org). It's very easy to install and has great syntax highlighting for a ton of languages. The syntax highlighting has very advanced configuration if needed, but for the most part it works great right out of the tarball. All of your requirements listed above are covered.
