The short answer is, sadly, no.

The longer answer is (as I'm sure you're aware) yes if you wrap the call to nedit in a shell script. The script would need to look at the head of the file you're trying to open for information concerning settings. You could then spit this information out to a file and use the "--import" option to load those settings into nedit.

Hope this helps a little.

is nedit even being updated?

dunno, it looks a bit stagnant doesn't it? Still a damn good text editor though.
