Thanks for the response, sorry I wasn't clear. What I'm trying to do is use 
a command line window (e.g. terminal) and type the word "edit" and get 
bbedit to open. I have another script I want to run that using the 
default environment editor, which is currently not bbedit.

So do you (or anyone) know how to make bbedit the "preferred" editor?
