inability to edit directive files

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. View Action sets
2. Highlight any directive file and click on 'Edit'
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The directive file, eg layout, should open for editing - instead nothing 
happens. It was working fine last week. Other buttons, 'Run' 'Delete' respond 
as expected. Items and characters can be edited as usual, and new cells scored.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

DELTA Editor 1.0 (2022)
date: 2013-08-19 20:25:57 Eastern Standard Time (New South Wales)
free memory: 11 MB 
total memory: 25 MB

java.version: 1.7.0_25

Please provide any additional information below.

The problem exists with several databases; the problem is independent of the 
length of the directory path; the pgm has been uninstalled and reinstalled from 
a newly-downloaded version but persists; and the pc has been rebooted; the 
problem persists with a new database populated by importing delta files or 
without any data; the problem does not exist when the same databases are opened 
with CSIRO DELTA; a newly-downloaded version of open-delta works fine on a 
separate notebook computer.

I am not sure what is going wrong, but the mostly likely thing that could still 
be a problem after a reinstall would be the saved application settings.  
Please try deleting all of the files and folders in the folder:
<Your user profile directory>\AppData\Roaming\open-delta\
and then restarting the Delta Editor.
