Well, I tried it -- Walter's way, I think; maybe Loki's -- and don't 
remember for sure which of my machines I was on at the time. But I 
remember I couldn't tell whether it took. 

Seems as if vi (or vim or whatever else Pan offered) ought to be pretty 
obviously different -- and it isn't ...

Another trouble (which at least makes me thing it was on this same 
machine I'm using now) is that it did something ver-r-ry strange, and has 
just done it again.

I hit Edit, then either Set Editor or Manage Editor List; and what it 
shows me is weird. I thought at first it was just my .sig; but I just 
tried it again -- and it showed this message, as far as I had gotten with 
it.

What's more, it does the same if I leave this one hanging (it's a 
followup, obviously), go back to Pan, and start a fresh post.

Bug, maybe?
