In your .bash_login or .profile file (which-ever you use):
export EDITOR=pico (or mcedit, which-ever you prefer)
export VISUAL=$EDITOR
Putting both thos lines in will make sure that you get it while in your
shell, no matter which variable is looked at by the program that's calling
your editor of choice (some look for $EDITOR, some look for $VISUAL). Log
out, log back in, and you're set from then on.
