Emacs is like that. Web browsers are like that, nowadays (and emacs embeds its own browser). Any utility that embeds its own editor rather than allowing a pluggable replacement is like that. (ISPF for CMS allows a choice of PDF or XEDIT although 2 is not one of the only three nice numbers. ISPF for z/ OS allows no such flexibility (or does it? some ISPF wizard might jump in and explain how it can be done.) I'd love to be able to select vi as my editor under ISPF (but not all
the time.))

Gil,
I am not so sure that is the case (ISPF edit) . The issue is as I see it that there is no xedit for MVS . Its relatively easy to change the ISPF primary menu to use another editor, but AFAIK there isn't one out there(anyone know of one?)
