H_O_T__D_A_M_N__!_!  Thank you Michael!  I've also been
dinking around with this for a while:-).  I prefer Qedit
v3.0 for OS/2 as my text editor.  I installed it into the
IDE.CFG file as you suggested and it works GREAT!  I had
"sorta" figured out how to do it *except* I would never
have thought to use the double backslashes ("\\") between
the pathing directories:-).

Thanks for the good advice:-).  I've quoted the important
part again above so others may benefit as I did.

-Frank
