Jed can be configured with a lot of hooks (see Help>Browse_Docs hooks).


I have no clue about the internals of VMS, so I cannot give detailled help.

However, making Jed aware of non-file URIs seems to be a somewhat similar
problem, so the documentation inside uri.sl
(http://jedmodes.sf.net/mode/uri/) could contain some clues:


  % * if you want find_file and related functions to be URI-aware
  %   (e.g. to be able to start jed with 'jed locate:foo.sl')
  %     autoload("find_uri_hook", "uri");
  %     autoload("write_uri_hook", "uri");    
  %     add_to_hook("_jed_write_region_hooks", &write_uri_hook);
  %     add_to_hook("_jed_find_file_before_hooks", &find_uri_hook);
  %   or (to check other write|find-file-hooks first)  
  %     append_to_hook("_jed_write_region_hooks", &write_uri_hook);
  %     append_to_hook("_jed_find_file_before_hooks", &find_uri_hook);
  %     
  %   Problem: Currently, a relative filename is expanded before passing 
  %   it to the _jed_find_file_before_hooks, with the sideeffect of 
  %   "http://host.domain"; becoming "/host.domain"
  %   -> find_file doesnot work for URIs with a double slash
  %
  %   If you want to be able to start jed with e.g.
  %      jed http://jedmodes.sf.net/mode/uri/
  %   you can copy the 194 lines of the command_line_hook from site.sl 
  %   to your .jedrc and modify the 6.-last line from
  %     () = find_file (next_file_arg);
  %   to
  %     () = find_uri (next_file_arg);
  %     
  %   CAUTION: hooks.txt says that this hook should not be customized by
  %   	     the user.
