I am currently having a problem running Paradox
under MKS Toolkit on my PC clone at home.

Symptom #1: I tell Paradox where to find the MKS vi for editing
PAL scripts.  But when I tell it to edit a script, nothing
happens: no vi.

Symptom #2: Paradox is unable to escape to DOS.

I believe that both symptoms result from the same problem:
an inability to use the DOS environment when I'm using MKS.
My config.sys sets the SHELL variable to MKS' Korn
Shell clone: could that be the problem?


Any ideas would be appreciated.


P.S. Both MKS Toolkit and Paradox are terrific!
