Did someone post a solution/answer to his question?  I'm having problems
getting a default editor (In my case I want "WZ Editor") to work with Lynx
for Win32, too, and am running out of ideas.  The best I get is that
pressing `e' blanks the screen for an instant before returning to the same
display as before pressing `e'.  Just stabbing in the dark, but I do notice
the full URL of the file to be edited flashes at the bottom of the screen.
If "file://localhost/..." is being passed to the editor, I wouldn't expect
it to be able to find the file (only stripping "file://localhost/" and
changing `/' to `\' would work).

Do you have to have the equivalent of "cp.exe" for downloading and
"sendmail.exe" for mailing?  (Both d'ownloading and mailto URLs are
working fine, although tested only with machines on the same LAN.)

Any help from people who have a default editor working with lynx_w32 would
be appreciated.
