If you just want to change your default editor, it depends on which shell you are using. If you are using csh edit your .login file and look for the line: SETENV EDITOR vi If you are using bourne shell, edit your .profile and look for: EDITOR=vi; export EDITOR When you create a new login on the system, the default shell startup config files are copied from /usr/share/skel into the new user's home directory. If you want to fix it for every new user created, then edit the files in that directory. johnl outlawtx@bga.com wrote: > > Hello, > > How do I change the default text editor? > > Don James > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
