When I went to run LEdit, it ran the first time, but after that I tried
to "run" the program, but all I got on the screen was a blip of the "run DOS"
window, and nothing came up.

It's probably one of two things.  Either you're double-clicking on LDRAW.EXE
(running it without any parameters), or LEDIT.EXE is throwing back an error
message.  Try opening a DOS prompt window, and running LEDIT.EXE from there.

If LEdit does throw back an error message, it's probably either:

  1. Runtime Error 200 - your machine is too fast.  There is a fix, however.
see <http://www.ldraw.org/memorial/archive/FAQ/#question-28>

  2. Runtime Error 003 - You installed LDraw into a directory with long
(non-DOS) names or spaces.  This is an issue because LDRAW.EXE and LEDIT.EXE
are both DOS programs.  Reinstall into a DOS-friendly directory.  see
<http://www.ldraw.org/memorial/archive/FAQ/#question-29>

I personally use LEdit to do all my modelling, but if you want a Windows
program, there are good alternatives which also use the LDraw parts
libraries.  You might want to check out:
