I am trying to configure cscope to use pn as the editor.
So far, I've set the $EDITOR variable to point to pn, but when I attempt to open the file from cscope, I get a pn error message:

+795 could not be opened.
This could be because the file no longer exists, a disk is absent or due to a broken network connection.

I click OK and the file opens to the first line.
Is there some way to avoid this error message?
Also, can I make the file open to the correct line somehow?
Lastly, where can I find an exhaustive list of all the pn command line switches?
thanks!

The help file has documentation of the switches, you can definitely have PN open with the correct line.

I have searched the help file and can't find it. What section is it in?

Ah, perhaps it isn't in the stable release help file. In the development releases it's in the Advanced section under "Command Line Arguments". Reproduced here for you:

The following command line arguments can be used:

Argument     (Short form) Meaning
--line x      (-l x)       Go to line x
--col x       (-c x)       Go to column x
--scheme name (-s name)    Use the named scheme (look in .scheme files to find the name)
--allowmulti               Override configuration and allow multiple instances
--checkassoc               Check file associations
--exit                     Exit (used for spawned processes, listed for completeness)
--reset                    Reset user settings and interface settings (if your PN has gone wrong!)
--safemode                 Run PN without loading any extensions

Note that many of these were added in the development versions, but I think -line and -col should work in older releases. If not, get the latest development version and use that.
