Hi Dale, and thanks for the help as always!  I never did get notepad to
run with the BW reader, and believe me, I tried every which way from
Sunday.  Tried the "start /w notepad", added the full path, removed
the fullpath, fiddled some more, and then went to a DOS prompt in
Win98, typed in "start /w notepad", and it worked.  So then I got to
thinking, hmm, hmm some more, and then robooted the beast in MS-DOS
mode, tried again, and no workie.  Shucks.

So I found another editor in
one of the myriads of "other" OLRs I have taking up space on the
harddrive (SLMR) and am using that. It has word-wrap! And I am so happy
that now I can keep typing away, oblivoius to misspelled words (!) and
not have to keep one eye on the monitor! And now I can stop bugging
everyone! (until I have another question, that is).
