 JP> Second, what is the /N doing in that line ? And the {at}F ?

The /N tells WordStar to operate in non-document (text) mode. 
It's normal default is document mode. 

  Blue Wave  automatically passes  a file  name to  be  edited  to  your
  message editor.   This  is done because your editor must know the name
  of the file to edit in order to work properly with the mail reader.
  
  If the  reader encounters  an '{at}F'  (without the quotes) in the editor
  command line,  it will  replace it  with the  file name of the message
  text to  be worked  on.   If '{at}F'  is not  found, the name of the file
  automatically gets passed as the last command line parameter.
  
  Suppose your  editor, EDITFILE.EXE,  requires a  "-w" be  typed on the
  command line  in order  to start  up in  word wrap  mode, and the "-w"
  command line  parameter must  come after the name of the file to edit.
  Your message editor command line would look like this:


MSGTEMP.TXT is called from in the BlueWave EXE program, but I 
imagine if you substitute a different file name for the {at}F, 
BlueWave will make it as the temp file for the editor.
