Help! with console editors

I've tried to get a full screen console editor working with little 
success. Would appreciate any help relative to the following. 
I specified the editor (tried Qedit and several others) in my Admin setup 
as the console editor. I edited the _editors file to specify the commands 
for running, turning the top menu bar off, etc. and the individual 
command file for the editor. I can get the editor to work just fine when 
I invoke it via whatever command I have set up for it e.g. qedit when I 
want to just edit a file in my dos directory. When I got to mail however, 
I can specify the send addres and then when the system goes to put me 
into edit mode, I get dumped out of mail (can't remember the message, 
something like "send aborted"). Nothing I do seems to make a difference. 
What have I neglected to do?? I will admit that I don't know for sure if 
some of the other editors I have tried do direct screen writes or not, 
but I thought that at least qedit was supposed to work. 
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
