9.1 Editing Source Code
=======================

In DDD itself, you cannot change the source file currently displayed.
Instead, DDD allows you to invoke a _text editor_.  To invoke a text
editor for the current source file, select the `Edit' button or `Source
=> Edit Source'.

   By default, DDD tries a number of common editors.  You can customize
DDD to use your favorite editor; Note: Customizing Editing, for
details.

   After the editor has exited, the source code shown is automatically
updated.

   If you have DDD and an editor running in parallel, you can also
update the source code manually via `Source => Reload Source'.  This
reloads the source code shown from the source file.  Since DDD
automatically reloads the source code if the debugged program has been
recompiled, this should seldom be necessary.
