So do I -- but only one is named EDITOR.EXE. I renamed v4.017 to
EDIT4017.EXE when I installed v4.018, but have not found a need to
revert to it in 9+ years. It's a museum piece. There's really no
reason to run version earlier than 4.018 (and good reasons not to).

Here's a slightly more elaborate, even less ridiculous solution that
switches to the file (command GOFILE) if it's already open in a
window:

Pseudo-code:

BX es 1Q2 +".txt">;*;
BX gofile Q2 ;*;
>BX exist Q2 ;*;
>BX ne Q2 ;*;
BX ca Q2 

DECODE-able XPL:
