Type this command: echo $EDITOR If there is no output, you do not have a default editor set for your environment. I solve this by adding this line to my ~/.bashrc: export EDITOR=vim You could also set this globally in /etc/profile for Bourne-compatible shells. Refer to your shell documentation for more information on how to set environment variables at login. Another option is to explicitly name your editor in ~/.wyrdrc. _______________________________________________ Remind-fans mailing list [email protected] http://lists.whatexit.org/mailman/listinfo/remind-fans
