UCBLogo and Leopard

My students an I have the followng problem when
we try to use UCBLogo 5.5 on Leopard (configured to use TextEdit)

? edit "mytest
You must QUIT (command-Q) TextEdit, not just
close the window, to return to Logo!

The editor does not even open, we immediately get this message.
Can anybody help?

Erich

Some more info: the underlying problem is

Maxi:~ neuwirth$ textedit
-bash: /usr/bin/textedit: Permission denied
/usr/bin/textedit is a shell script but does not have
execution rights. chmodding it to 755 is a partial solution,
but I still get



? edit "haha
You must QUIT (command-Q) TextEdit, not just
close the window, to return to Logo!
2008-04-28 08:58:43.620 TextEdit[746:807] *** CFMessagePort:
bootstrap_register(): failed 1100 (0x44c) 'Permission denied', port =
0x4403, name = 'com.apple.TextEdit.ServiceProvider'
See /usr/include/servers/bootstrap_defs.h for the error codes.



Is there an easy solution for that one?
As an alternative: I am considering using nano as the default logo
editor. Where is the configuration file where I can set this?

One more things (and the solution?)

The UCBLogoInstaller on OSX creates a shellscript textedit in /ust/bin
This script is owned by the user who does the install, and it only has
access rights 644. Changing this to 755 solved the problem.
The second problem I described only surfaced once, but now things are
working.

Yeah, I've seen this before, I'm not sure why it happens, but I'll work
on it. Thanks.
