You might try writing an ARexx script. The reason that you must exit WW
is that voyager (or any proggie that uses an external editor) needs to
know that you've finished editing the message. The logical way of
knowing this is by waiting until the editor closes (this is why sticky
mode is required). Interspersing a script that waits for a close
command from you would be a workaround. Its construction is more than I
am prepared to tackle, but the idea is
1.V calls the AREXX script, passing the filename it will want to be
returned.
2.AREXX opens WW if it's not open, and passes the filename to WW. If
WW is already open, the script just opens the document for
editing. The script then waits for a close command from you.
3.When you finish editing the message, you save it to t: and then
close the AREXX script. V detects that the script has closed and
reads the message into the
mailto: box
Not quite so simple.
