Use Different Editor

[KG]

Using tilde_expand ('~\.octaverc') gave me a location of C:\Documents and
Settings\Kevin\My Documents\NetBeansProjects.  However, there was no
octaverc file in that directory.

I did a search of my computer and found the directory I needed at C:\Program
Files\Octave\share\octave\site\m\startup.  I added "edit editor "C:\\Program
Files\\Notepad++\\notepad++.exe %s"" to the octaverc file there.  I still
would prefer to modify the system octaverc file because octave still says at
startup that "edit" opens SciTE, when I've obviosly changed that.

I suppose I could install Octave without installing SciTE.  Then I wouldn't
get that message.
