I don't believe the problem you are experiencing is the fault of QEdit. I use 
OLX as my mail reader/writer and QEdit v3.0 as my editor. I think your 
solution *may* be within your configuration file for BlueWave where you 
define the editor...
Try:
    Editor=Qedit @REPLY.MSG
If that doesn't solve your dilemma, another alternative *could* be:
    f11     EditFile 'REPLY.MSG' Return
(or whatever you call your message reply) within QCONFIG.DAT. Use of "Escape" 
within your QCONFIG.DAT file is not a valid command.
I would recommend that you create a macro while within QEdit, save/write the 
macro to a file. THEN USE QMAC.EXE to convert the binary macro to ASCII 
format, then you will see the proper format to use when you want to modify 
the QCONFIG.DAT file. If you do not have QMAC.EXE, then the aforementioned 
technique will be of little use to you.
