Doesn't take a genius, Terry. ;)  You can use an external message editor like 
timeEd (with a text editor like QEdit) or you can do it within Maximus as I'm 
doing now.  Here is the line in MAX.CTL which allows me to use the TSE editor 
locally with Max:
        Local Editor            C:\TSE\E.Exe %s -eMsgFmt
TSE (E.EXE) is "The SemWare Editor", an advanced commercial version of the 
QEdit text editor.  The -e switch is just used to invoke a macro I wrote that 
automatically sets up TSE for writing messages.  You can use other text 
editors as well.
Best,
