Module Name:    src
Committed By:   dholland
Date:           Wed Oct 19 11:27:26 UTC 2011

Modified Files:
        src/etc/skel: dot.cshrc dot.profile

Log Message:
Re-enable EDITOR=vi because otherwise stuff breaks. (Or runs ed, which
is arguably equivalent to breaking.)

Per the discussion on tech-userlevel, document the settings offered.

(All of this needs quite a bit more work still.)
