Setting the EDITOR only helps when you use a program that calls an editor such as crontab, mutt and pine. > What about putting a link in /usr/bin to your Nano executable?

It is a BSD thing to install packages under /usr/local, but since the problem is on SuSE, I suspect in this case it was a local install from the source package (sh configure && make && sudo make install).

The solution is the same in both: fix the PATH. For tcsh, the OP will want to add something like the following to your .tcshrc file: set PATH = ($PATH /usr/local/bin) Using a symlink will work too, but using a custom PATH will continue to work for other local package installations. -Vince _______________________________________________ LUAU@lists.hosef.org mailing list http://lists.hosef.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/luau
