It wouldn't  be a good  devolution if it didn't  involve vi vs  emacs or
another editor!

Now that you quote it, I definitely remember saying it.

And as  I most recently  hinted, I  still don't have  EDITOR/VISUAL set;
I've now set the editor in the mh profile.

Yes, indeed we  did. Thanks for reminding me. It's  amazing that it only
took  6 years  for me  to finally  get impacted  by the  results of  the
