I think you have to add the correct parameters that golded.exe  
expects that represents the "message".

If you go to Config/External/Editor.. and then press F1, you  
will see this as the HELP for the first field:

º  OpenXP does have its own built in editor which        º
º  should do all you need. But if you really cannot part º
º  from your beloved old editor, then you can enter it   º
º  here (incl. extension .COM or .EXE)                   º
º                                                        º
º  The macro $FILE may be entered for the name of        º
º  the file to be edited. Otherwise XP passes the file   º
º  name as the only parameter to the editor.             º
º                                                        º
º  Linking in other tools                                º
º  If you use the internal editor but wish to call a     º
º  programme *after* it, perhaps a text formatter or a   º
º  signature generator, then you can also enter it here, º
º  but put a * in front of its name.                     º

HTH!
