Here is my _editors file:
qedit /access=9 /slash /local /screen /command="QEDIT %i" /then="clear"
wwivedit  /slash /screen /dir="\WAFFLE\BIN" /command="wwivedit %i 80 23 500"
vi    /access=9 /screen /dir="\waffle\bin" /command="VI %i"
fsed  /screen /slash /dir="\WAFFLE\BIN" /command="fsed +dosansi.cfg
                                ...from last line...        +wordstar.c fg %i"

I do not use a batch file to start it, but the DEFAULT config file is as
follows:

; The default settings

SETUP:         [1] 0=None, 1=CHAIN.TXT, 2=EDITOR.INF

FOSSIL:        [0] 1=Use fossil driver if Comport > 0
BBS:           [0] 0=None, 1=WWIV

This is NOT it. The above will work but give some garbage on the screen. You
need two files in the same directory as WWIVEDIT:

CHAIN.TXT :
-----START OF FILE
1
SPYROGYRA

25
M
    100.00
10/14/92
80

86184
3
80268
780
4340
96
8N1
38400
4653
------ END OF FILE

If chain.txt is not present STRANGE THINGS occur. The baud rate in there is
not important as I let Waffle handle the I/O. You'll some kind of ANSI driver
to see anything happen on the local screen. I use NANSI as it doesn't make
Waffle puke. The second file is NOTAG. Both CHAIN.TXT and NOTAG go in the BIN
directory of my config.

NOTAG :
----start of file
#

The above line removes Taglines from Local E-mail because the symbol # always
appears as in "The Emporer #1" in the Destination Line
Advice and Dissent
This is a Sub Board Name.  It is CASE sensitive.

LOCAL
The above line will remove tags from all subs that have LOCAL in them.
Do not leave blank lines in this file! It will disable all taglines.
------ end of file

This will disable WWIVEDIT's built in tag line feature. You don't have to do
this, but this allows for ANSI and WWIV code sig's and can cause problems.
Waffle has it's our sig's for this purpose.

Now, this is a kludge. Took me a couple days of fiddling to make it work. I
can't guarrantee it will work with every system, but it works on mine. PLease
keep in mind, it ONE user modifies the setup inside of WWIVEDIT by using teh
defaults selection, you'll have to set them back.

I am going to be adding CHAIN.TXT to the file creation of my WAFDOOR program I
have written (replaces MAKEDOOR and is multinode compatible - MAKEDOOR is
not). This will fix the above mentioned problem as then every user will have
his/her own set of defaults, dictionary, etc..

Hope this helps.
Mark
