Another suggestion I saw is to use VISUAL, since apparently that's also used sometimes (but surely even less than EDITOR - even my extensive config files just define VISUAL=$EDITOR).
I'm going to be deploying xmonad on Solaris 9. The standard on Solaris is that $VISUAL is an editor like emacs or vi and if not set falls back to $EDITOR, which defaults to /bin/ed. This means Solaris users generally ignore $EDITOR and set $VISUAL. -- brandon s. allbery [solaris,freebsd,perl,pugs,haskell] allbery@kf8nh.com system administrator [openafs,heimdal,too many hats] allbery@ece.cmu.edu electrical and computer engineering, carnegie mellon university KF8NH
