Mapping the :edit command to a certain editor

Question

I've got the Haskell interpreter running in Emacs. With this I've got the typical Emacs setup of 2 open windows, - the source file I'm editing - the Haskell interpreter Using the command :edit file in the interpreter it will open the file I tell it to, but it will open it in Notepad. Is there a way to map the :edit command to use Emacs instead of Notepad. It looks like the .hs extension is mapped to to ghci on my machine.

Accepted Answer

I'm guessing that the Haskell interpreter will honor the following:

```
:set editor emacsclient
```

and from Emacs do

```
M-x start-server
```

and then when you do

```
:edit file
```

the file will pop up in your Emacs session. `C-x #` will tell Emacs to tell Haskell to consume the file.
