Dunno...

kevins at aria:~$ env | grep ED
kevins at aria:~$ set | grep ED
EDITOR=nano
kevins at aria:~$ echo $EDITOR
nano
kevins at aria:~$ echo $HGEDITOR
kevins at aria:~$ tail .bashrc

#if [ -f /etc/bash_completion ]; then

#fi
EDITOR=nano
kevins at aria:~$ $EDITOR

That last command brought up nano, as I would expect. Not sure why
$EDITOR doesn't appear in the env output but does show up in set. I've
never quite figured out the multiple levels of environment variables in
linux/bash.
