When my Win98 PC was new and I was feeling adventurous, I wrote a DOS batch
program called XY4.BAT which reads as follows:
        cd ..
        cd XY4
        editor
(XY4 is, obviously, the directory where I loaded XY4 for DOS.)

I then put a shortcut [I think that's what it's called] on the Win98
desktop which runs this batch file. Voila.

Hope this helps.
