In my .profile I have: export EDIT=/usr/bin/vi export EDITOR=/usr/bin/vi export FCEDIT=/usr/bin/vi export VISUAL=/usr/bin/vi
Note that some of the above environmental variables are specific to ksh, my default shell, and others may be legacy variables that I keep around simply from inertia. Still, it all works for me. But check where your vi executable actually resides.
