Thanks Mohamed.

>From the attached readme.txt :

1. From the installer, you MAY not want to use the default destination
folder, 'Notepad++'.
texexec and company choke on directory names with characters like '+' in
them. So you could
change it to, eg, 'Notepadpp'. So if you plan on linking the ConTeXt
utilities with the notepad
installation directory somehow then you may want to change its name.
However, in the following I assume that the directory name remains
'Notepad++'
2. You may also want to check the installation option, "Don't use
%APPDATA%".
Then all your configuration settings will be save in the installation
directory. This is because, even
if you rename the installation directory, the name of the local user
application directory will still
be 'Notepad++'.
However, in what follows I assume that all configuration files
are saved in \<username>\Application Data\Notepad++.

Holy bananas, that's confusing...

If "texexec and company choke on directory names with characters like '+' in
them" why would one nevertheless "assume that the directory name remains
'Notepad++' " ?

And, "even if you rename the installation directory, the name of the local
user application directory will still be 'Notepad++" why would one choose to
"not to use the default destination folder, 'Notepad++'." .. and "change it
to, eg, 'Notepadpp' " ?
>what OS are you using?

XP SP3 Home, Ubuntu 8.04

Best,
Alan
