MeOrion.h is inside the libraries folder of the Arduino. I’d simply like to check various things inside xybot.ino. But the Arduino IDE says I’m not allowed to open the .h file. So must I look at those files with a different editor?
Why can't I open MeOrion.h?

This is a known limitation of the Arduino IDE, nothing special with the MeOrion.h, see https://github.com/arduino/Arduino/issues/3736
I usually use an external editor for that.

Just open it with notepad or textpad, etc. The samr aplies to the corresponding .cpp files. In fact it is a very good idea to inspect these files more closely, as this often reveals functions which are available but not used in the examples. Also you see what variables are available.
Thanks for the help. I’d searched in the Arduino forums too, I obvisouly did not search hard enough!

I normally used different Editor for editing .h, .cpp or similar file. The editor in Arduino is just enough to work on simple .ino files. I don’t like that every file is opened in it’s own window. On Windows I’m using Notepad++, on MacOS Textwrangler, both editors are free and good enough to work with huge files.
