This does not work with /bin/sh

no...
$EDITOR & $VISUAL are used on UNIX.
Traditional, EDITOR is defaulted with 'ed', VISUAL with 'vi'.
Many UNIX programs have a 'e' & a 'v' command to either thart
$EDITOR or $VISUAL
Some programs like edquotas only looks for $EDITOR. It is reasonable
to have EDITOR set to vi, ved or emacs.
