And if you didn't know, you can set the VISUAL environment variable to
change your default editor.  eg..

  export VISUAL=pico

You can put this in your .profile to make it a default.  Personally I
don't like line wrapping so I turn it off like this:

  export VISUAL='pico -w'

You can also use the 'v' command in from 'less' to edit a file.. very
handy..
