The default set editor_command given in slrnrc file did not work. However when
I replace it with what suresh had given :
set editor_command "vim %s +%d -c ':0;/^$/+'"
now vi is starting and I can type the message. Even putting without any
arguments set editor_command "vi" works.
Why those arguments needed ?
Thanks for all the help.
