I've finally got a few minutes to send you the results of my tests.

OK. I've recompiled with the debug info and have run it again, although 
I can only get what I would expect from your comments above when using 
"-d 3 " if I run makes/editor.exe not the one as installed - perhaps I'm 
going about it all wrong, though?

here is the traceback when it hangs:

After thinking some more, the problem seems to have been that the old 
file was owned by root. Changing it to have the user own it, got the 
editor running - BUT, deleting the old desk top file altogether made it 
hang again - in the same place:
