[Mike Miller]

Update of bug #41278 (project octave):

                  Status:               Need Info => In Progress

Follow-up Comment #10:

I'm working on some further changes to make sure the edit HOME directory is
defined and exists before trying to edit files in that directory.

The new defaults will be to edit files where they already exist, or in the
current working directory if they don't exist. A user will have to explicitly
opt in by setting 'edit editinplace false' and 'edit home
/path/to/existing/dir'.

I'll try to clean up the doc string with this change and move all of the stuff
about copying files to HOME to the end as a special case. And add it to NEWS
as well.
