The editor comes up with only the window frame. There is no line with
drop-down options at the top so I can't select the Options the way it 
is. Also, I am unaware of where my "home directory" is. If I go into the 
Users directory from C: and my user name under that, I can't see any 
file that might be the saved configuration. Also, I didn't actually
delete the configuration file in eddat. I renamed it. Somewhere I read
in the Watcom notes that, if you delete the file, a new one will be
created the next time you run the editor. Where is this "home directory" 
you refer to and what is the file name (same name as the
one in eddat?)?
