I'm having trouble making scripts. I prompt a sprite for a Dink.C file in the dinkedit, and then the tutorial tells me to create a .C file in the story.dir and to edit it with a "text editor". How do I create this file and then edit it? And then how do I edit it? my computer is not familiar with .C files (it asks me what I want to open them with), and I am wondering if I need something to be able to create/edit .C files. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

lets you open all the want you want withing it's self, and anything you type and save will automaticly be a .c file.

You may use notepad to edit .C files.
A "ext editor" is just here a program which can edit text without putting bold, italics and co.
CEdit is one, but there're others. CEdit is cool because it adds some more DMOD usefull functions.

You can also "associate" certain files with certain programs... That is, .c files can be associated with the "notepad.exe" program - the standard text editor that comes with windows (I use it ;~) ). To do this just open Windows Explorer, go to the View menu, find options and then click the "file types" tab and then enter a new type .c and associate it with "notepad.exe" - you have to find this file... in the windows directory (or maybe accessories, I forget).
CEdit is simplier, but I had a weird bug with it, so I generally use notepad.
