I believe BW just minimizes to an icon. 
I forgot to say that  is what I use to bring it back to 
full screen again.

I believe it is the fault of the DOS window, rather then the editor 
or BW. 

As soon as the text is all entered in the editor, do the  
to maximize the DOS window and see what happens. 

I'm using DOS Wordstar 6.0 in non-document mode as my text editor, 
so I can open up a second window to switch to, to copy text from. 
If it is a long section of text, it is faster to do it that way. 
A bunch of small chunks are faster to go after with something like 
notepad. 
Wordstar was my first word processor (came with the computer). 
I didn't like the features and bloatware when they went to 7.0 and 
the Windows version, so I stuck with what I knew. 

I use a publishing program for my Windows word processor. 


You can also change the size of the  window by going 
into the Font part of the Menu and change the font you want to use.
