Is there any way for the default string to appear in the mini-buffer so the user can edit it? As far as I can tell the best you can do is have the default appear in the prompt which is not very helpful if you want to allow it to be editing in some small way without retyping it all.

It is not pretty, but I solved this by using the entry hook function you can setup when the focus is changed to the echo area. It would still be nice if editor:parse-for-something had an option where it would insert the default string. John DeSoi, Ph.D. http://pgedit.com/ Power Tools for PostgreSQL
