   I've added vim and nano as native programs.   
      
   I've added them as external programs with name/internal code using the same   
   name as  native programs.   
      
   Here are the settings for nano   
   Namenano   
   Internal CodeNANO   
   Command Linenano -R -S -c -i -r 75 %f   
   Multiple CUYes   
   I/O MethodSocket   
   Native E/SYes   
   BBS Drop FTDOOR32.SYS   
      
   I selected Nano as default external editor. When it tries to use it.   
   I get an "Aborted." followed by "Hit any Key"    
      
   I tried to use the settings from wiki.   
      
      
   I had both nano/vim working in July of this year; but lost some config   
   when I did a rebuild of source, and it overwrote files.
