[MLB-WIRELESS] Getting the WL200 working under FreeBSD

[paul van den bergen]

Hi all,
forgot: send to wireless
...

On second thoughts I concur.

to change editor,

for tcsh... once off:
setenv EDITOR editor_name <- make sure include path or in path... usually it 
will be, but.
for always, edit
.login
or
.xsession
or
.cshrc

and add 
setenv $EDITOR=ee
export $EDITOR
or similar... see 
man setenv

I prefer to have persistant things put in .cshrc as most shells are derived 
from it and use it as default with overrides in their own .*shrc files...
