Hello.

This might be a stupid question... however...

%setenv EDITOR emacs -nw
setenv: Too many arguments.

%setenv  EDITOR "emacs -nw"
%crontab -e
crontab: emacs -nw: No such file or directory
crontab: "emacs -nw" exited with status 1


Is there a way I can easily achieve the above?
Do I really need a script which in turns call emacs -nw?

  bye & Thanks
	av.
