Hawkins" <hawk@fac13.ds.psu.edu> Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG OK, I'm stumped. I've tried setting both $EDITOR and $VISUAL, as well as first reading, then madly grepping my way through the man for nmh. Nothing I do convinces it to use /usr/local/bin/vim rather than /usr/bin/vi. I've even tried aliasing vi to /usr/local/bin/vim, all to no avail. The answer must be obvious, so could someone give me a hint before it turns into a snake and bites me? :) thanks rick To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
