"subl" in vm command line?

Hi I've been wondering, I wanted to ask, "Can I use sublime text command line shortcut within this virtual machine on Windows?"

I simply couldn't find it. Would anybody let us know? I tried installing Sublime Text x86 Ubuntu version on vm (not opening) and, installing one in the shared folder..

Hey kang kyu lee I'm not sure of a way to use the "subl" command inside of the VM. The reason the subl command works on the local machine is that it can send messages to the program on your local machine. The VM is actually a completely separate computer inside of your own computer. As a workaround, you can run subl inside of a command prompt in your projects directory which is synced to the VM.

Thank you teacher Jason, for responding this so quickly! And...And I want to say I totally got into this fantastic world of Ruby, special thanks to your guidance at Treehouse. I am a big fan of yours, since "I am Ruby." video (and Odot is my most favorite.)
