THAT explains it! 

At the DOS command, you are IN the BW folder, where it can find all 
of its' parts. 
If you "Windows 2-click on its .exe file" then you are starting it 
from a different folder. 

In older versions of DOS you could SET a PATH statement so BlueWave 
would be able to find its' affiliated parts. 

I start mine from the old Win3.11 PIF file with a Start-up Directory 
(Folder) set for where BlueWave is. That is the equivalent to changing 
to that "folder" before running the EXE.
