I'm still a newbie, but allow me to take a whack at this.
It is NOT possible if you have this setup: Mic--->Preamp--->soundcard--->cool edit.
It IS possible if you use a hardware mixer with its reverb effects.
That is: Microphone-->mixer--->soundcard in computer--->Cool Edit.
If you have the setup with a mixer in between, then I know there are previous threads that show you how to do this.

here's what i do, this might work for you:
i have a hardware reverb unit and a mixer, and my soundcard only has Left & Right inputs. so i run the mic into a channel on the mixer and send it to the reverb on an FX send. then i bring that FX send back into the mixer on another channel. i pan the dry mic hard Left, and the reverbed mic hard Right. Then in CoolEdit I record each channel on a separate track. that way I have both wet and dry versions I can pick and choose between, or blend, or even decide to scrap the reverb later and apply a different reverb to the dry vocal track in CoolEdit.
As for monitoring while recording, sometimes hearing yourself dry on the left and wet on the right can be annoying, so hopefully your monitoring system has a "mono" switch you can hit.

Signal routing gets to be a complex maze for sure.
I think the most effective way to monitor while tracking is to use two signal paths originating from the preamp. One goes to the converter/soundcard and the other goes to your monitoring. With an outboard pre, if it doesn't have two outputs per channel a simple Y cable used at the ouput works very well (just remember it doesn't work to combine two signals, just to split one). With a mixer's onboard preamp, use the channel's direct out jack to go to the converter/soundcard, and monitor from the headphone jack of the mixer.
IME you'll get the best sound quality if you keep your mixer out of the signal path that's going to your converter /soundcard. Gives flexibility with monitoring processing and the cleanest signal to the recorded track.
