I've added vim and nano as native programs.

I've added them as external programs with name/internal code using the same name as  native programs.

Here are the settings for nano
Namenano
Internal CodeNANO
Command Linenano -R -S -c -i -r 75 %f
Multiple CUYes
I/O MethodSocket
Native E/SYes
BBS Drop FTDOOR32.SYS

I selected Nano as default external editor. When it tries to use it.
I get an "Aborted." followed by "Hit any Key"

I tried to use the settings from wiki.


I had both nano/vim working in July of this year; but lost some config
when I did a rebuild of source, and it overwrote files.
