I do not sudo and I did mention the commands a couple of days ago. In my bash 
startup file or in any shell

export VISUAL=/opt/local/bin/vim       works
export MP_EDITOR=/opt/local/bin/vim    doesn't work

I could keep using VISUAL without knowing why MP_EDITOR doesn't work in my 
machines, but it puzzles me.
