I was trying to set up a default text for a template at our office.  Now when I try to use mtext or mtextedit.  I get an error message saying "cannot find shell program".  I cannot even double click existing text to edit it.  How do I fix it?

You have probably changed the MTEXTED variable - see:http://www.cadforum.cz/cadforum_en/qaID.asp?tip=787
