Well, Jussi nailed it!! He just did not give up after I found the work-around.

He discovered that I had an older version of Zeus that I had not uninstalled. That was causing Filezilla to not find the correct config file.

Uninstalling the older version is the correct fix for this problem.

Some good news. I have found a way around the problem.

Before, I had configured Filezilla to 'Use custom editor' and entered the command line I showed earlier.

If I configure to "Use system's default editor", I get the correct results (I have Zeus set as the default).

I would say this problem is ...

It seems to have something to do with the command sent by Filezilla. If I just close Zeus, start again and edit the same file, it appears correctly.

Is there any way I can see the exact command sent to Zeus?

That did not happen. When I open the saved file, it opens normally.

I have already done exactly as you suggested:

• * Sent the file from Filezilla to Zeus where it displayed incorrectly.
  * While the file was still open in Zeus, opened the file in another editor.

It opens fine in the other editors while still displaying incorrectly in Zeus.

Jussi, I don't believe that you will be able to solve this problem. I know how difficult it is to debug a problem when you cannot reproduce it yourself.

I thought that I could email you a copy of the file so you could see the problem. However, I emailed myself a copy, saved it to my PC, and it ...

And, just to be clear, if I open that file from every other editor, it opens correctly.

I did give you the complete command line from Filezilla for every test case. That is all there is - no more!

The path from the Zeus title bar is this:

c:/Users/Mac/AppData/Local/Temp/fz3temp-1/header.php

Filezilla is an ftp program.

I have tried editing the same file with these programs (command line in parentheses):

emacs (C:\sys\emacs\wemacs64\emacs-bin-w64-20140710\emacs\bin\runemacs.exe)

notepad++ ("C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\notepad++.exe")

wordpad ("C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows NT ...

When I set Zeus as the custom editor in Filezilla, and click 'View/Edit' on a remote file, it opens in Zeus with black background and unreadable red text.

If I copy the file to my PC with Filezilla, and then open it in Zeus, it opens normally.

Any clues why?

Can't believe I missed that.

Thanks

When I try to edit the emacs keyboard mapping for an escape-prefixed command, it takes me to the command 'MarkHide'. I cannot seem to get to the escape combination that I want to assign.
