What's the editor?  PFE? Have you tried RHIDE?

Do other DJGPP utilites work in Messy Dos? Such as GREP, INFO......
They will only work if you have a DPMI driver, see CSWDPMI.DOC in the
DJGPP\BIN directory.

Do you have a DPMI server running when you exit to dos, i.e. do you
have cswdpmi.exe running? (At worst case your program can find it in
the path and run it.)

What is in your config.sys and autoexec.bat?
What is in your path? (Make sure the DJGPP\BIN directory is included.)
What version of DJGPP are you runing?
