lrcfg uses the command "edit" to launch the editor. On Dachstein, this
script was modified to support selectable editors:
# cat `which edit`
#!/bin/sh
# Launch the desired editor:
eval ${EDITOR:-e3} "$@"
So, you can do something like "export EDITOR=vim" in your .profile or
startup scripts somewhere. If you don't have an "edit" that lets you
pick your favorite editor, you can use the code snippit above, or
manually configure edit to call the editor of choice.

RE: [leaf-devel] invisible cursor in ae running under UML
I submitted my question to [EMAIL PROTECTED] also and just heard back from Jeff Dike. Apparently I am "Old and Busted" and what I need is the "New Hotness" or more simply stated, they did not add the xterm= kernel command line parameter until 2.4.18-41 and I am using 2.4.18-21. Which means that it is time for me to upgrade. As a side note: In the midst of my frustration at trying to get this to work I loaded David's vim.lrp just to see if it would have the same invisible cursor problem and it did not. In the process however I discovered that vim is really cool! Is their a way to change the default editor used by lrcfg? If so then I would like to play around with this.

[leaf-devel] invisible cursor in ae running under UML
All, I followed these directions from "Using a Virtual LEAF/Bering Router" section 4.2 Tips. - The cursor of the Bering ae aeditor does not show up without some tweaking. In your host machine create a /usr/local/bin/umlxterm containing: #!/bin/sh exec xterm -bg blue -fg white -cr yellow "$@" Make umlxterm executable (chmod 755 umlxterm). Then modify your startuml script to include an "xterm=umlxterm" statement: #!/bin/sh ./linuxuml-2.4.XX-YY xterm=umlxterm - Unfortunately it is not working for me. The directions are not complicated and I have verified every letter, still with no success. However, I did have to vary on one point which is probably where the problem is. I did not have permission to write umlxterm to /usr/local/bin/ directory so I su'd to root and then created the file. Since it belonged to root then I couldn't access it with my dev account where I run the UML kernels. I used chown to gice the file to my dev account. Any help would be appreciated.
