And if you didn't know, you can set the VISUAL environment variable to
change your default editor. eg..
export VISUAL=pico
You can put this in your .profile to make it a default. Personally I
don't like line wrapping so I turn it off like this:
export VISUAL='pico -w'
You can also use the 'v' command in from 'less' to edit a file.. very
handy..
