  editor: the text editor to be used.

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     Path expansion (see 'path.expand' will be done on 'names'.

     The behaviour of this function is very system dependent. 
     Currently files can be opened only one at a time on Unix; on
     Windows, the internal editor allows multiple files to be opened,
     but has a limit of 50 simultaneous edit windows.

     The 'title' argument is used for the window caption in Windows,
     and is ignored on other platforms.
