  Let's try again, then. Here 'win32 program' is notepad. It only runs from
Windows, not from e.g. MS-DOS 5.0. As a Windows user, you don't care about
this fact, tho. :)
  'DOS program' is BlueWave. (You cut my workaround, but I'll find it later. :))

  Please note  that you cannot use a Windows application as your message
  editor command  line.   Windows does  not allow a DOS program (such as
  Blue Wave/DOS or Blue Wave/386) to launch a Windows application.

  You may have other dox, tho. But hey, there's no newer version... :)
  OK, what I quoted is no longer true with Win32, so you *can* use a
Windows application.

 JP> My problem is in directing the Directories in BW, on the proper

 JP> finished, I get a : We seeem to have lost the Editor note.

  I don't have that error message in 2.30, but "Message was not edited!".
  Do you have to close notepad to get that error message, or can you switch
back with Alt-tab and see that message while notepad is still running?

  Here's a method that works for me. Create a file "edit.bat" in
the directory you run BlueWave from:
rem edit.bat begins
start /w c:\windows\notepad %1
rem edit.bat ends

  (You can leave out "c:\windows\" if it's in the path. It should be.)
  Then in BlueWave, set "edit.bat {at}F" for the Message Editor Command Line.
