I'm the author of the said program and I've never seen the problem you've
mentioned on any of the computers I've tried.

If possible try using a later version of DOS and also supply a file which you
want to edit on the command line to heditor, like:

C>heditor foo.bar

Heditor will come up and if it doesn't find a filename to edit, just
quits without a word. I'll fix.
