A creature called Denis Newkirk screamed at All:

   Two ways.  You can either use the commandline compiler and use
makefiles, rather than the IDE, like I'm doing, or this.  Edit a file
called \watcom\binp\idex.cfg.  It looks like this:

--- Snip ---
IncludeFile ideos2.cfg
IncludeFile idewin.cfg
IncludeFile idedos.cfg
IncludeFile idenlm.cfg
IncludeFile ideads.cfg
IncludeFile idew32.cfg

Project
  Editor "epmlink" DLL
  Browse wbrg wbrw
  Help ide.hlp

MsgLog
  Help .c, wccerrs.hlp, 20000
  Help .cpp, wpperrs.hlp, 20000
  
HostMask ????{at}
--- Snip ---

   Change the line:

   Editor "emplink" DLL

   to:

   Editor "C:\Tools\Box\B.EXE"

   Or whatever editor you like.  Of course, it might help to use a PM based editor...
