SYMPTOMS
If an option is added to the TOOLS.INI file under the PWB tag to read either &quot;Edit:yes&quot; or &quot;Edit:no&quot;, PWB returns the following error message:

Edit is not an editor switch.



CAUSE
The edit switch for the Programmer's WorkBench (PWB), documented on page 79 of the Microsoft C version 6.0 &quot;Microsoft C Reference&quot; manual, is not implemented in PWB versions 1.0 and 1.1. The documentation is incorrect.



RESOLUTION
To open a file as read only, invoke PWB with the /r option.
